Her heartstrings
entwined with the echoes
of her past.
She found solace
in abandoned rooms
of the empty building.
Where the silence
spoke volumes
and darkness was
only a companion.
Yet, there was one room
she dared not enter
a room shrouded in darkness,
its door sealed shut
for memories
too painful to confront.
But on a fateful night,
curiosity lured her into
forbidden chamber.
With trembling hands,
she turned the rusted handle,
the hinges groaning in protest
the door creaked open.
Darkness enveloped her
like a suffocating cloak,
swallowing her whole
as she stepped into the abyss.
The air was heavy
with the scent of dust
and decay,
her heart pounded
against her ribcage
like a caged bird
desperate for freedom.
She groped in the darkness,
her fingers brushing against the cold,
rough walls as she ventured
deeper into the unknown.
freedom seemed so farfetched
over the mountain happiness lies.
