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