Empty Chair

(mid June 2005 or early 2006) 

The chair by the TV
No-one there
The books you loved reading
Lying bare
No contact, no sound
No greeting from there
That house is just empty now
'Cos you are not there
Empty is never
There's too many years
The good times, the memories
The laughter and tears
This poem goes nowhere
It's run all its course
It's harder for writing
When gone is the source
