This is how I want my life to end <br />Hooked up to a prison sentence <br />With the phone lines down <br />And machines treading water for me <br /> <br />This is what I want <br />When death has already taken my spirit <br />When death has already taken my song <br />Promise me you’ll keep the heat on <br />In the empty house <br /> <br />Please force me to keep living <br />In such a condition. <br />I know your cruelty is a sign of love<br /><br />Michael Philips<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/persistent-vegetative-state/
