Empty Chair

Uncomfortable furnishings

Look at you there
Standing alone by that empty chair
Tears well up in your eyes
That space you despise
Hands open in act of despair

Promises flown
Away on the scent of a humming bird
Swooped down and took her away
To a far away place
Where the name has no face and no form


You'll soon forget
Though the grandfather clock chimes so slow these days
Meltdown of memories and mind
Will occur over time
Leaving nothing
But that empty chair

You'll forget her
That empty chair
You'll forget her
That empty chair
