When I Am No More

An empty space in the dining table A vacant space in the car for four My room vacant without an owner My pets masterless But still my dreams and a handful of aspirations remains trapped in the gap between the living and the eternal If only i was lent a patient ear If they hadn't forced me to push further in the world of competition Maybe i would have been spared
