HAZE

My room is a haze,
my eyes deathly foggy,
where am I?
god, I'm still so groggy.

The air is chilled,
the lights so dull,
as I step out of my room,
and into the hall.

The floor creaks,
I instantly gaze down,
bewildered at the silence,
I hesitantly frown.

I then hear a noise,
it came from outside,
a hollow cry
that came from worldwide.

I walk to the window,
and place my hand on the cool glass,
I glance outside
The fear I surpass.

Unknowingly I hear a click,
and find my hand unlocking the door,
as I step outside into the brisk air,
What I once heard is no more.

The world has gone silent,
I realize I am alone,
everything else that mattered,
is now postponed.

I am free from it all,
I realize on my own,
as I gently push away a strand of hair,
and walk back into my home.
