Empty Chair Poem by Jason Delaney

Empty chair...

The house seems so much darker, the sounds are somewhat grey, The happiness of living left home with you that day, The pictures still remind me that you were really there, But all that I can see now is your favourite... empty chair.

My whole life I have known you, but now you've gone away, My memories are like movies, in my mind is where they play, Life carries on regardless, they say it get easier to bear, But they haven't been to my house, and seen your empty chair.

I'm not sure I should move it, what if you're still here?
I know your body is laid to rest but is your soul and spirit near?
I make sure that it's nice and clean, it eases my despair, To think that somehow you live on in your favourite empty chair.

They say that time's a healer, I'm not sure that it's true, But every where I go in life my thoughts return to you, My heart is always lonely, but I'm too lost to care, I'll carry on just sitting here, in your once favourite...empty chair.....
