Where..?
Where do I go from here?
Death too near
Life almost gone
What has begun

Did I do enough
In this place so tough
Loneliness taking hold
So cold

Where do I go from here
Slight sense of fear
Has my time come
Alone as one

Why am I being taken
Not me...you must be mistaken
I am not ready, losing sight
Trying with all my might

I still have more to give
I must live...
Too many to leave
You must not grieve

I am losing my breath
Is this death?
Chest so tight
Losing the will to fight

Where do I go from here?
Death is here
Life...where have you gone
Have I won?

Crumblies
The years have finally taken their toll
No longer a gorgeous Barbie doll
Hair brittle, wiry and coarse
Voice croaky, slightly hoarse

Skin crumpled along a furrowed brow
There is no turning back now
Eyes small with yellowy tinge
Peeping behind a silver fringe

Nails tough, hands wrinkled
Turkey neck flapping, totally crinkled
Eyebrows unrefined sprouting over jam jars
Too demented to drive cars

Joints aching and stiff
Tights old, starting to whiff
Cardies and woolly socks
Can't afford to take knocks

With cod liver oil at the ready
Hold the spoon steady
Body trembling, hands shaking
A disaster in the making

Dentures clacking
Calcium lacking
Diary full of the quacks
Hypochondria at its max

Incontinent pants itching
Limbs twitching
Face like spaghetti junction
Brain full of confusion

Non-existent memory, completely befuddled
Always utterly muddled
Waiting patiently in line to die
Knowing the scheduled end is nigh
