she tiptoes through the empty hallway,

the sound of her own heartbeats ricocheting off the walls

and filling her ears,

and holds her breath.

the ghosts -

they are still haunting her.

only there is no hallway

and there are no true ghosts

only the ghosts of her

unhappy past,

of her uneventful present,

and of her useless future

still materialize in her disorganized mind.
