Dementia

 You stole intimacy.

You stole memory.
You stole intelligence.
You stole the ability to see a big picture.
You stole skilled language.
You stole rational thinking.
You stole joy.
You stole self-reliance.
You stole friendships.
You stole the pleasure of family.
You stole the chance to be a full part of the world.
You stole my wife.
God damn you, dementia.
