The door slammed behind her
The stark finality frightening,
She was alone, all alone
in this godforsaken room
and nobody, but nobody,
knew of her fate.
The walls stared down
with knowing eyes
silence screamed
from the shadows
while the cold, night air
wrapped itself around her
showing no mercy at all.

I can feel the panic rising. I like the way the walls, silence and night air become personified. ‘Night’ suggests being outside, though, I think I might have gone for dark, heartless, evil or something else depending on what effect was required.
