Life carries on <br />Their bodies and mind wane <br />As the disease sets <br />Their bodies and mind strain <br /> <br />A slow death <br />Of body and mind <br />Sadness and depression <br />And memories left behind <br /> <br />No where to turn <br />A death pact is made <br />She goes before him <br />A last act of love and trade <br /> <br />Lying bare <br />Forwarding death <br />Her body gasps <br />One last breath <br /> <br />Watching the other go <br />Tears are shed <br />Two minutes later <br />They'll both be dead <br /> <br />Their last years <br />Even more chilling <br />Before the pact <br />The mercy killing<br /><br />Joshua Fegley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/thoughts-on-euthanasia/
