what lies beyond

shoes click down the vacant hallway
rows and rows of doors
behind the glass
dim unlit rooms and rooms
perhaps a hidden exit
or second entrance
unto more deserted walkways
it has been a while
since life was here
even remembrances all decayed
almost all the light is gone
here at the end
the cul-de-sac
has eaten the last fading eerie glow
next to the final unopened door
it's locked
and no one knows
where is the key
or can recall
what lies beyond
darkness
