Loneliness
An only guest
when company is a broken chair
Absence
An empty chair
placed beside a wooden table
in a vacant room
Forgotten
Faded initials carved into a table
made from the trunk of a dying tree
Emptiness
The tired branches of a tree
that can no longer hold on to its leaves
Hopelessness
The scattered amber leaves that can never
turn back to the colour green.
