Empty Building

Im in this building
It's empty,
I walk around,
Footsteps echo.
I call out and
no one answers.
I shrink
to the floor
and look up.
The lights are
bright,
unbearable,
so I close my eyes.
Memories
flood in.
Mistakes, too.
I try to
block them out.
It hurts.
I shake my head
vigorously.
Still there.
One tear falls
down.
There comes another round.
I shout out
"why"
I cry some more.
Then
I pick myself up off the floor.
I run.
Running away from
where it all came back.
If i run far enough
if i run fast enough,
I'll forget
I know i will
 i have to.
I look for those
Who I think i've lost.
I see them.
But I can't reach them.
I shout their names.
They don't look.
Tears stream down
my pale face.
If only I could
correct the things that
I done wrong.
If only i could
never have changed.
If only i could....
