Ghost Walk Poem by O.S. Brooks

These Halls
Shake the very soul of me
And I am left alone
Looking over my shoulder
As if the walls are watching
Darkness
A blinking thing in the distance
Chills
Awareness of no light
There was nothing after all my worry
Just this empty hall and I
And I'm shaking
Scared for this is new to me
This emptiness
This low feeling of depressed regret
Hollow
Something is buzzing over my head
An air conditioner kicks on
Power flickers in an upcoming room
There's no one else I see
Quarantined
I recall bits and pieces of fleeting memory
But not enough
To make sense of it all
The abandoned hospital
has been empty for years
Why
Am
I
Here
