Love Poem: I Do This Because I Care

I Do This Because I Care

It’s breaking my heart but the truth I must withhold
You accused me of lying but you cannot be told
I am trying to protect you from news that is bad
When you saw me today you were mad oh so mad

Some things are better for you not to know
You have got dementia and that is your foe
I wish I could share the burden in my heart
It’s been a tough journey it tore me apart

If things were different I would share
The reason I do this is because I care
If I told you the truth you would be blue
The reason I don’t tell is my love for you
