An Empty Apartment Echo For Matt

My foot steps echo through the hall
Roaring like a ferrocious lion
Time has passed and surfaced again
I am on the edge of a vast cliff of alone
Do I jump or do I yell??
Dance around and act a fool
Seek out the action in the night
My foot step echos through the hall
Dust bunnies dance into the corner

For Matt's contest Empty Apartment free verse.
