An Empty Chair

~An Empty Chair~ The house is all to quiet No voices to be heard No sound of foot steps nor laughter comes to greet No sound, not a word Three chairs are pushed away from the table One still remains in place Three settings for dinner can be seen But there is an emoty space A loved one has been taken away Three hearts are completly broken Silently they sit words stuck in their throats, unspoken Upon returning to their home They look at an empty chair Tears roll down their cheeks As they quietly stand and stare Their lives are now full of grief Sorrow is all they know Time will eventually heal their wonds A pain that now grasps their souls A voice silenced way to soon But these two hearts will console each other, Crying,holding,and grieving so They'll be there for one another Years will pass and they'll continue on Recalling memories they're willing to share Everything that meant anything And Even her empty chair ~Author Che Che Martin
