Only to Witness and Feel

In the brutal moment
  that lasted an eternity,
  I learned what it is like
  to die...and, to die alone.

Collapsed on the floor.
  Unable to move or decide.
  Observing from the outside.

Feeling the stretching of the
  tether holding my soul to my body.
  The soul detaching; the body pulling it back.

Unable to move,
  only to witness and feel.
