Empty,
your armchair sits in
the corner of the room
and I wonder how the
enormity of you ever fitted there.
In days of shadow, the frayed
fabric forms your silhouette;
the imprint of a
man I cannot be.
My memories of you
are like every season’s rain,
a permanent lens of grief.
How could I ever fill
the empty space you left?
The empty spaces
that are everywhere.
