After Dinner Silence
Take the leaf from out the table
The guests have all gone home
Just you and me if we are able
Once again to be alone
The emptiness that's in the silence
Grabs a hold our hearts
Wasn't it love we once relied on
Before alone came to play its part
Place the extra silverware after it's polished
Back inside the bottom drawer
We won't be needing it at all
For at least another year or more
The leftovers that we are left with
Is in not having much to say
About our missing wants and needs
With loneliness being the cutting blade
Make sure to put up all the chairs
Leaving an extra one behind
A seat where silence can sit and stare
At these lost and lonely lives
