Walks through the Halls
Noises of norm throughout
Footsteps fall softly

Listening

Passing the wooden door
Heart quickens
Tears fill sea colored eyes
Steps continue past

Glances to the walls
If they could speak
Presses a bare ear to the stone
Wondering at the secrets it keeps

Fingers clasping
Wringing together
Thoughts cloud the brain
Images flash before her eyes

Covering ears
Willing it to stop
Not wanting to know

Turning
Fleeing
Outrunning the sound

Seen from the window
White silk billows behind the path she takes
He watches

Laughing
Knowing she knows
Eyes reflect evil
His lips mimic the eyes with a sneer

He knows that she knows
The secrets the walls keep
No one can escape
