The Empty Chair
how can life go on
as u were never there
u left traces n our hearts
for all those u loved
your chair now sits empty
now
there are reminders of u in
every room
but its all so still and quiet
now
how can this b true
my heart cant yet comperhend
that u r really gone
at times i think i hear u
call and
i can almost feel ur touch
why did u have to leave
when u were loved so much
i live in a a house now
it no longer feels like home
as i look at ur empty chair
and i feel so very alone
i know that ur in gods hands
now
and someday he'll call me
too
then ur chair wont sit alone
for mine will be there too.
