Empty Places

Empty Places By Joeysguy For many years I lived in a full house Between kids, dogs, and my spouse My wife and dogs are now gone My kids have all moved on I didn’t think I would ever lose my wife Never thought about emptiness in my life In the closets are empty hangers that I see They can bring out the sadness that’s in me Those hangers held the clothes of my wife The clothes given away, now in someone else’s life In restaurants I wait to be seated Then the number one is repeated In the seats across from me Is the empty space that I see One empty side of the bed The pillow still there that held her head The smallest thing with the largest space It’s my heart the most empty place
