Leigh Haynes Poet Couplet

There is an Empty Chair

There is an empty chair 
Awaiting your arrival
To sit and talk, drink coffee, laugh
No concept of deprival 

There is an empty chair 
Awaiting your appointment 
To sit and wait, deliberate
Fearing disappointment 

There is an empty chair
For me to sit and rest 
While wondering just how you are 
Resulting from your test 

There is an empty chair 
Sitting side by side
Hearing the prognosis 
The need to run and hide 

There is an empty chair 
Sitting next to mine 
We hug and cry and wonder why
Your health is in decline 

There is an empty chair 
Just to the left of me
Holding hands we reminisce
Of life's sweet memory 

There is an empty chair 
Awaiting your return
But you are gone, now an image
Of that I only yearn
