Hallway

A maze of hallways,
a child's laugh echos and bounces off the walls.
I run through the hall turning this way and that
to try and catch a glimpse of the child.
I see her for a fleeting second before she takes off again.
Catch me if you can
her voice calls in a taunting way.
I chase after her while she giggles,
running away from me.
All of a sudden the hallway comes to an end
and she's nowhere to be seen.
I no longer hear her footsteps or her laughter,
She's gone.
