The hallway light is humming low
Like it’s trying not to wake me
My phone slips out my hand again
Nothing urgent’s trying to take me
Thoughts feel warm but undefined
Like dreams that haven’t formed yet
I’m not sad, I’m not alright
I’m somewhere in between it
I don’t name what I’m feeling
I let it pass me by
Some emotions only breathe
When you don’t ask them why
Half-asleep feelings
Drifting through my chest
I don’t know if this is love
Or just getting rest
I don’t hold them
I don’t chase
Half-asleep feelings
Fade in place
The ceiling moves a little slow
Or maybe it’s my eyes
Time feels soft around the edges
Like it forgot to try
Your name almost crossed my mind
But didn’t stay long enough
Some memories knock politely
Then decide not to show up
No longing in my hands
No weight behind my breath
I stopped asking moments
To be more than what’s left
Half-asleep feelings
Come and go
Like quiet thoughts
I used to know
I don’t question
What they mean
Half-asleep feelings
Stay unseen
Maybe clarity’s overrated
Maybe this is fine
Not everything needs waking
Not everything’s a sign
Half-asleep feelings
Soft and slow
I let them drift
I let them go
No goodbyes
No reveal
Half-asleep feelings
Just feel
The light clicks off
I don’t resist
