Awake

Noted Nest

By Saleen Marandi



I woke up, with no tears staining my face

No nightmares, no eerie trace

Was it calm and peaceful, end of the cycle

end of the nightmare snare

or was it all in my head?

I was at home, everything seemed conventional

My room, desk, even the lamp at the corner of my bed

But the unconvincing feeling stayed.

The silence whispered—something is strange

My eyes wandered searching for a clue,

Landed over the clock, has it forgotten to move?

Its hands were frozen like they were glued,

Forming a trap—an endless loop.

The horror shivered my bones deep

The silence began feeding on my fear

And I realized 

There’s no waking—only sinking further,

into the depths of an endless

SLEEP
