whisper in my ear

if i had some disease and i was being eaten away from the inside out and the pain was excruciating, would talk of cures yet undiscovered and selfishly beg me to hold on?

if something had died inside of me and i live without living, exist with no existenance would you let me lie there wasting away possibly for years and years and years.

if i had some disease that was robbing me of all my independent functioning and rendering me incapable of surviving on my own - no longer able to do the basics : feed myself, bathe myself - would you rather me live or would it be ok for me to die with some dignity still in tact?

how much of the pain, the nothingness or the humiliation would you want me to endure before you whisper in my ear, "it's ok, i know you are tired; you can let go now?"
