The chairs rest, empty<\/p>\n\n\n\n
with a place set for two<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Time ticks by slowly<\/p>\n\n\n\n
as silence looms large<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The absence of presence<\/p>\n\n\n\n
grows grand with the moments, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
waiting for something<\/p>\n\n\n\n
to break status quo<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But nothing and no one<\/p>\n\n\n\n
comes to claim the seating<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It stands there, abandoned<\/p>\n\n\n\n
not knowing what\u2019s missing<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A place set for two<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and a void left by all<\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
