Sleeping With Eyes Open

“And I…and I am…finally waking up.” – “Bruised” – Jack’s Mannequin

I got lost for a while, there,
in my own world, disguising
my face with a smile
that was true, but not intended.

Sound waves drifted
through the air and into my ears,
and my heart rate
slowed.

The sun baked my skin
deliciously and I could breathe
again.
