basement

i look for you
in the basement

i walk through
damp hallways
with unusual equipment
covered in dust
and meaningless graffiti
like mona lisa on the wall

i walk
with only the sound
of my heels
against the concrete floor
and the sound
of my heart
pounding, yearning

i am unsure
if i should keep looking
for you

i know you're down here but
when i find you,
will it have been worth it?
