In the Halls

By Kati Frazier

I see them often

in the halls.

I could have sworn

there was a time

when they gazed

in one another's eyes.

Now they clasp hands

and walk together.

No smiles.

No words.

Held by some

silent invisible bond

that perhaps

they both regret.

A cold kiss exchanged

not of love

but of obligation.

And as she walks away

in the corner

of my eye

I could have sworn

that for once

I saw her smile.

Back Home!
