 I won't be dead

Though I won't be dead, instead
I'll hear and see you but
But I can't relate back to you
Not one word or gesture you'll get

Disease for which they've found no cure

Someone must take good care of me
Know when I'm happy or I'm sad
Know if sick or well or hungry

Compare me to useless chicken 

Animal with utility
But not me, totally worthless   
Thank you, Goodbye all, I love you

"You will not die, but will no longer be able to interact with the world.  Whats the last thing you say?"

  3. Yes, your ending is perfect. I often wonder what sort of memory footprint I am leaving. We have two daughters who can't have children. When the four of us are together we are always reminded we are looking at a tree branch that only has four leaves.
