Walking along empty hallways
Humming a haunting tune:
To be or not...
To be or not…
However shall I chose?

Trailing callused fingers
Down the warned down walls
Fingering every crevice
Finding every flaw

Stopping as I hear
Footsteps that are not mine
I gasp and turn only to find

...nothing

I look and glace
But never to see
What was behind me

So I continue

Walking along empty hallways
Humming a haunting tune:
To be or not…
To be or not…
How ever shall I chose?
