Hallway Senses

School Hallways.

You look around and you see students slamming lockers

Chatting away like they don't have anything to do.

And running to class in attempt to not be late.

 

You listen carefully.

You hear the faint sounds coming from headphones that are entirely to loud.

People laughing. Smiling.

 

Being, ... Happy.

 

Looking around and listening today.

All you see is red, puffy eyes.

Tissues held up to eyes and noses.

All you hear is sniffling.

And crying.

 

There are no laughs.

No smiles.

No "Hi"

No "Hello"

 

Just "I'll miss her"

and "I can't believe she's gone."

 

You look through the glass of the front door and see it's dark.

and dreary.

and downpouring.

You can't help but to think,

What a perfect day it was.
