Empty Chair

Drawn curtains shut out unwanted light The room is filled with heavy darkness Empty chair shouts in numbing silence Regrets bore holes in receptive mind My eyes and ears opened far too late Time has flown, gone, past, chance lost Now I only talk to an absent ghost That sits silently in your empty chair
