“Creak!” shouts the floorboards,
“unlock me..” whispers the doors,
but The Girl simply sees a chore.
“I have to be let out-
believe me, I'm sure.”
Again, The Girl willingly ignores.
“I can't be left here,
I can't be suppressed,
you must open the door to start your quest!”
The Girl treads past-
all the wooden whispering doors,
“Open me please…”
“Don't you want to know what's yours?”
But the girl can't be bothered,
-out of sight out of mind-
what's waiting for her will be opened another time.

When your shadow touches mine,
that's the closest our souls ever get.
Lovers only from a distance,
lovers only in a daydream.
Our eyes play chase through the hallways,
a constant tag of exchanged looks
from you to me.
Pretend not to notice,
pretend not to care.
But I see you,
and sometimes I think you see me too.
You are the secret sigh,
the secret whisper of my heart.
Imaginary you smiles,
imaginary me believes it meant something.
I build a whole world in my head,
where you reach out,
where you choose me,
where you don't even hesitate.
But the truth is—
you don't know me.
You probably never will.
And all of this,
all of this ache,
all of this hope,
is something I made up.
So I’ll smile across the room,
catch your eye for a second,
and let the dream live a little longer.

I sit on the cold tile
outside my class
people walking by
cold digging into my ***
the squeak and buzz of basket ball boys
girls laughing around the corner.
I work on my project
my poems
my life
and somehow it doesn't get any warmer.

i still see you in my dreams
white hallways of burgundy tile and gravel
multi coloured lockers line the walls
sometimes i believe
im in a dream
still a sleep on my desk
before the lunchbell
when things were a haze of quiet noise
do the fish still swim?
does that tree still stand tall?
are the things that i've hidden
stuffed between shelves,
covered by rocks,
still there?
or have curious fingers touched them
traced the loops of my handwriting
wondering who
i am
i wonder, too
i still see you in my dreams
fresh cut grass,
tall windows, plush seats
a corner
hidden from the world.

I heard your eyes
their whispered echo
Through my halls
Up to my walls
They said sweet nonsense
or maybe profound
spicy and a dash of sorrow
Was it trust you said
That could be here
To take a hand
Make your new land
Then tell me
That your eyes
are mine

the day was full
heat and tasks
yet my thoughts
remained on you
i burned and yearned
with fantasy in my mind
it twisted and turned
as you danced down my hall
intoxicated by your song
those words deep in my ears
i scratched inside
to see what remained
but I was saturated by you
as the day came
to a close

Enter in my hallway
Intention is your key
Show attention to your ward
Or they’ll turn and flee
Whisper to me **** words
And take me in your arms
Don’t care about the place
Woo me with some charms
Another day we’ll say hello
Tomorrow may be goodbye
But I’ll be at your behest
If only you would try

I visited my hallway today
Anger was boiling inside
I slammed open the door
And yelled for all
“Get the **** out”
They scrambled left and right
Some disappeared
In the back
Misting away
One tried to beg
To stay inside
Another was cocky
Thought he would stay
But I screamed again
For all to leave
So I could finally have peace
From the yahoos
In my head

Trickling echoes
Down that hallway of mine
Did you whisper my name?
Or was it goodbye?
I stood by your room
Beckoning you to come out
But you were distracted
By some kind of doubt
As I wrote out a note
And slipped it inside
I wonder, will you read
Or cast it aside
Then silence was my answer
For this I did find
Because you were afraid
Of your own little mind

okay, but I don't 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒕 to be the bigger person.
I want to be the person who looks out for their own needs.
being the bigger person for what?
the benefit of someone I hate?
the benefit of someone I avoid in the halls?
you don't 𝒅𝒆𝒔𝒆𝒓𝒗𝒆 for me to be the bigger person-
so I will throw my fits.

I can only feel
Cold as clay
I can only see
In black and gray
My thoughts are like a hallway
A melancholic, dark way
So don’t tell me to stay
Don’t force me
To disobey

Hey. Guess you'll know it's me by now. I don't really know where to start. Again, I wrote you a ton of these kind of letters. They all ended up in the trash too.
You know, It kinda suprises me. You said that you read the line "I'm in love with you." from the last poem I sent you, thirty times. but, In the letter I wrote you, I said it too. I really thought you'd noticed. I really thought you already knew. Not that it matters a lot anymore now. In a good way though.
I really don't understand the stuff you do to me. remember the first day of school, when we hugged in the middle of the hallway? Lucky me, you walked away for a sec. I was shaking, it surprised me you didn't see. How? I don't know. Or when you told me; "I would date you." And my brain just, stopped. I literally couldn't think anymore. It really felt like a dream, and it still does. I dreamt about you last night, I vaguely remember. It was kind of a nightmare, but before it got scary I woke up. But seriously, when I think about you I just, I don't know man. Shit's confusing. But yeah, I really am head-over-heels in love with you. And, I don't know what's gonna happen next, but I know it'll be a good thing.
Sincerely, me.

Breathing down my neck
like the truth ****** out from hotel hallways
tears fall by the window
out past the scaffolding of emotion below
a breath of lifeless air
as a boulder falls upon you, and crushes my being
the snap of my heart
when you say things are getting better
the hall's silence
as you see my broken eyes looking upon you
glares falling upon me
as i chose the wrong path yet cannot turn back
the truth becoming free
from the hotel hallway

A tap on my shoulder,
And a wink,
From you,
When you saw me walking.
All I needed,
To make sure.
Now I know.
This isn't normal.
And even though I know.
I really know you're never there.
I still spend the breaks,
On the same place
Every day.
Still hoping,
You will pass me in the hallway

a door has been opened
in the hallway of the everlasting night
and magic flooded through
with it came the shooting stars
the full moon
the solar system
the falling meteors
each and every constellation
and all that makes sitting in the night
worth the dark

Stuck in a
narrow hallway.
White, clean...
Clinical.
Either walls display
a parade of
clean-cut doors...
But there aren’t any knobs.

These dimly lit corridors
are not a home to me
I walk down these tainted halls
With a broken heart, i try to flee
I walk down this cursed hall
where others don't reside
for fear of the pain they'll face
where monsters don't try to hide

He sits at the end
Of this long hallway
Strumming the strings
On his sun-kissed guitar,
Gliding his fingertips over
The neck and humming
Tunes only heard in
Dreams dreamt by angels.
He sits at the end
Of this long hallway,
Absorbing the words
He wails, letting the pangs
Of his impossible love
Fade away with each
Stroke of the chords
That reverberate off
The walls and crash
Like waves onto a shore
Of crimson-red sand.
He sits at the end
Of this long hallway,
Eyes shut over his thoughts,
Waiting for her to sit
Across from him and sing
Along, show him how to soar
With the clouds that line
The night sky spilling
In from the transparent walls
That surround his heart.
He sits at the end
Of this long hallway,
Cheeks glistening with
Unholy water that
Burns the cuts above his lips
And rappels from his chin
Onto his sliding fingers.
He sits at the end
Of this long hallway,
Becoming the vibrations
That lie within the sound,
That sleep within the hymns
He cries so that she
May hear, understand that
Music can't be made without
Something to bleed onto.
He sits at the end
Of this long hallway,
Head shaking over his
Guitar, hoping that the sound
Will spin her into his tired arms.
But the songs won't ring
Loud enough to tell him
Why dreams are forgotten
When the music fades away.

A crowded hallway,
Patiently waiting to see if you'll magically appear.
Searching for empty words to say,
Once again, I feel myself falling hopelessly.
That smile, have mercy.. That smile,
Those eyes.. Making the stars envious of the radiant glow they gave off.
Now, my mind is racing, wondering if you'll ever come back,
It's been 34 days since the last time I can remember seeing your face.
My heart feels like it's jumped out of my chest,
My eyes have began to fill with water.
My knees have become so weak,
My breath has become shallow..
I see you right in front of me,
And to this day, I can't remember if that was our final fairwell.

whispers
giggle twirl today
meet me in the hallway
as we gather our books and pens the normal way
as though this happens every day
you smile in the happy little way
that seems to hold me as i say
meet me in the hallway
we meet like love isn't here to stay
as we collide in the hallway
people smile and look away
at our rendez-vous in the hallway
your lips meet mine, we kiss, you stare into my eyes as we sway
meeting in the hallway
i waited for this all day
anxious fluttering belly fae
i walk out, the noise around me coming to a haze
as i smile at you, unknown, in the hallway
as you hold out your hand for me, life seems a little less gray
because i held you in the hallway
