InevitableA Poem by Lanaia Leedeath
I don't have any idea why I just blacked out
I have never done it before, this was something very unusual for me
All the surroundings around me, everything seems the same, in this there is no doubt
Everything seems to be the same, just as it was meant to be.
My husband is not home from work yet, he sometimes works over late into the night
My only daughter, went to a friend's house, with her she is spending the night
Maybe something is wrong with me health wise, something I must take the time to make it right
Something else very strange, as I move about, I feel just like a feather, I feel very very light.
I must look a fright, so I want to make myself presentable, so I go to my dressing table
It has a big mirror, I sit down and look into the mirror, strange, no reflection, is looking back
Something is very wrong with the mirror, I see other things in the mirror, but my reflection, to pick it up, the mirror is not able
I don't understand, the mirror, something it definitely lacks.
I hear the front door open, I know my husband is home, coming through the door, he calls out my name
I go to him, standing right beside him, he acts like he doesn't see me as he calls my name then me he just passes by
What on Earth is he doing? Is he trying to play some kind of cruel game?
I follow him into our game room, me talking he just ignores my questions, as I plead with him why.
Then what I see, I can't be believe, I rub my eyes in total disbelief
My husband is yelling my name as I see myself lying on the floor
I do not respond to him, so he calls emergency services, in an attempt to give me some relief
They soon arrive, my husband frantically answers the door.
Paramedics looking down at my body, checking me out they say nothing can be done, I am already dead
My husband is crying, as they tell him a hemorrhage they think is what caused me to die
I try and tell them, look I am here, I am just fine, but they can't hear me, as they lift my body, covering me with a sheet, after everything said
As I watch them take my body away, it then occurs to me, there was no way to save me, as I really did die.
