I feel the darkness closing in
on me, yet the lights are still glowing
I feel the air escaping completely from 
my lungs, yet I should still be breathing
I feel my throat rapidly closing tighter
and tighter, yet there's nothing to choke on
I feel an ache growing inside
my chest, yet there is no visible wound
I feel my temples and my brain
throbbing, yet there is no physical cause
I feel my tear ducts pouring out gallons
of tears, yet my eyes are dry with nothing to cry
I feel my stomach flopping inside 
and out, yet it isn't that common nervous, happy feeling
I feel my cheeks filling with heat
and redness, yet it's not even close to embarassment
I feel my body being torn limb from limb
and I feel my insides being viciously ripped
apart, yet I'm still (unbelievably) in one piece
I feel my spirit and energy leaving my lifeless
body, yet I thought I was still alive...
