It's almost like waking up

It's almost like waking up
where breath settles heavily
under duvets and pillows
and light burns through windows;
eyes stay open barely,
taking in nothing but
moving shadows and figures
which slither under the covers.
Grabbing at the waist,
it pulls you under
and you're barely awake
drowning unconsciously
and breaths become precious
and the then you resurface
into reality and realise
it's almost like waking up
but really, it isn't at all.
