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
