Interestingly, though Dickinson did not seek publication — her father disdained Women of Letters — this poem was published anonymously in an anthology called A Masque of Poets.

So the abandon of this celebrated Dickinson love poem is not out of place and can be read for what it is: The poem has the trademark up-note ending, so that the reader must guess where the breakdown leads to — the heaven of well-being, or the hell of continued mental anguish.
There is a theory that Dickinson, like her nephew Ned, was epileptic; she definitely suffered eye trouble and, as we know, she had agoraphobic tendencies. Any of these, or just plain old depression, might have sparked this poem. The narrator may be nobody but she makes herself somebody with that capital N.
