The small chimes and rings
from the piano.
Slowly walking alone,
down the hallway,
sounds grow louder.

Laughing and yelling
get quieter as I approach the door,
the ringing chimes
cut off everyone and everything
I left behind.

Opening the door,
The room now turns silent.
The white paint,
begins to chip and crack.
No more windows of sunlight.
Not a soul knows who I am.

The piano starts to play
once again.
The people I once knew,
stand outside the door,
scratching and clawing,
screaming to get in.
The door I locked will never be opened,
My door is sealed to the world.

Walls stand between you and me.
Tears stand between the eyes
I once adored.
Trust is the key to my door,
not even you who once opened it,
will ever see the sunlight
that once made me smile.
