Empty Chair 🛋

Even the small  
Untalkable moments  
Just grace with your presence
Not hard at all.  
But seems hard when you have them  
And seems so easy after you lose them.  
But it will be a lot harder  
When you can't simply  
Pick up the receiver  
And listen to their jokes  
Their pain and their laughter.  
 
Never take them for granted while there  
You never know when you'll see  
Their empty chair  
Never keep saying next week  
Live for the now, to hear them speak.  
 
For you never may know  
When all your hear  
Is the old floor creak  
And nothing but years  
Roll down your cheek.  
 
Never take them for granted while there  
You never know when you'll see  
Their empty chair  
Never keep saying next week  
Live for the now, to hear them speak.  
 
Having a meal  
Or sharing a joint  
Spend time for real  
Doesn't matter the point.  
 
Then may come the day  
When the Reaper collects his pay  
You regret putting them on a shelf  
And the irony is you now  
Have time to yourself  
But it's time to yourself  
You never wanted, this way ....🛋
 
Never take them for granted while there  
You never know when you'll see  
Their empty chair  
Never keep saying next week  
Live for the now, to hear them speak.  
 
Oh ....  
 
Never take them for granted while there  
You never know when you'll see  
Their empty chair  
Never keep saying next week  
Live for the now, to hear them speak.
