Starting to fade to Dark

What a lovely feeling of numbing bliss

My eyes are blurry with tears; I can barely see past the pain

My heart crushes under this and life has become an empty shell

My body is shutting down and my final rest awaits

My once happy heart is now pumping so slowly, fighting to keep my body alive

I keep waiting for the final beat, the final sigh, before I am set free from this pain

And yet the voice that could safe me will not speak

So drifting into darkness I go with tears on my cheeks hoping that the world will be brighter once Im gone

A vivid expression of anguish and despair. The meaning of the third to last line is intriguing—Doctor(s)? Health care provider? God? It speaks to much more beyond the protagonist's suffering.

If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.

Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) American poet.
