Hall of Doors

Sauntering down a hallway

Your hand blanketed with mine

I notice the path is thinning out

And decide to pay it no mind

Suddenly you let go

Run the other way

I chase after you for a while

Sob a plea for you to stay

I come upon some door frames

With wood and lock and all

Finding they're all sealed shut

I continue down the hall

The walls are closing in now

The Light is fading fast

With panicked eyes I look around

For a door that isn't latched

Sliding down the wall

Giving up and giving in

I put my head back with a thud

The strength I had is wearing thin

Helpless looking at the ceiling

I notice a crack of light

Jumping up to investigate

Overcome with delight

For there I found a window

When I thought all hope was gone

I'll look back to make sure you're not there

But then I'll travel on.
