Sense Sonnet - Acher

Deprived

Two ladies in a nursing home,
One has a lot of family,
But dementia has made her roam
Away from all reality.
She has visitors all the time,
But does not know that they are there.
The other lady - alert prime,
But has no one who seems to care.
Yearning for visitors to come,
Loneliness is the only one,
Day after day, just more lonesome.
Both are shut off from any fun.

One is in a world of her own,
The other in this world alone.
