Midnight Numbness

Staring into the inky blackness of my room...
Somehow oddly comforting...
A visual numbness.
No sounds to process...
Only the whispering of breath
And my faint, stuttering heartbeat.
Body weak with exhaustion,
I lay quietly.
My mind wandering idly...
To tired to reign it in
As it strings together nonsensical things.
Shrouded in heavy blankets but,
Still chilled through.
Pulling my nightshirt more closely around me,
I watch the darkness slowly give way to light.
