10:45

It's 10:45 and there's a heavy sleep in my eyes

My eyelids shut and the world turns black

A million thoughts race through my mind

From fantasies to memories everything is there

Then everything slows and eventually stops

The skin on my body falls from my bones

And my bones turn to dust

If only for a moment I cease to exist

I think and feel nothing

I am nothing

A noise shatters me back into existence

My eyes are wide open and my mind is flooded

The world is just dark outlines of shapes

I search for the red glow of my clock

It still reads 10:45
