Loading …This was written for the book ‘Against the Clock’. Against the Clock is a collection of stories and poems, on behalf of The Alzheimer’s Society - the contents of the book were written in at 12-hour writing marathon and from that marathon a collection of poems and stories have been put into a book and dedicated to all those lost to, or suffering from, Alzheimer’s Disease and other forms of dementia.
My Grandfather died of Alzheimer’s so this is rather close to home.
This is a bit of fun… I wrote it with my boyfriend in mind, but he wasn’t my boyfriend when I wrote this… hence the meaning behind it. 
Pull me In
Like quicksand you’re
pulling me in,
tempting me,
calling me.
I can’t help but
lose myself in your chase,
let go,
forget common sense,
another day and it’ll be
over,
too late and I’ll be
lost.
So I’ll let go and
fall with you,
let myself be sucked in,
taken and forget to
fight for freedom,
freedom lies anyway
with you.
