Oh empty chair
Out on
The front porch,
How you
Rattle me.
You are a
Constant reminder
Of how lonely
The House
On the Hill
Has become.
That my home
Is haunted
By a
Heartbroken Ghost,
Who looks
Remarkably
Like me.
You are a
Throne
Without a
Queen.
The King
Wanders
His castle
Aimlessly,
More a jester
Than the
Rightful owner
Of the crown.
How long
Will you
Remain there,
Rocking
In the
Summer breeze?
I wish
I knew…
Will someone
Ever make use
Of you again?
I cannot handle
The idea
Of that
Chair
Remaining
Forever empty…
Just like
My heart.

I had an empty chair. Very good blog. Hugs, Barbara
Someone will occupy it. It won’t sit alone.
I hope so. I’m getting a little lonely…
You should be on the lookout for potential seat fillers when you’re out on those runs and when you’re having those Witching wings. Maybe Waltzing Matilda could keep her eyes out for a lovely girl to rock in that chair.
We’ll see if I can ever open my mind to the idea of another…
You can and you will. One day, not long from now you’ll look back and think, what was I holding on to that for? When we are in the thick of it, the possibility of someone else seems absurd but in the big picture.. this heartache will seem small.
We’ll see…
Trust me
🙂
Do you want to borrow Butters for a while?
No thank you.

HE NEEDS A REAL, SHORT-DISTANCE GIRL….ANY VOLUNTEERS???
WE ENDED UP THROWING OUT OUR EMPTY ROCKING CHAIR….it was too small and two short for either one of us! You poor guy! 😦
Thanks for the thoughts…
🙂 HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY…regardless!!!
Thank you, my friend. 🙂 Same to you!!!
ORT-ORT!
it will be filled again one day, mark my words. the only question is not if, but who?
Let’s hope so…
Sad, but beautifully done, Austin.
Thanks, Audrey…
Your heart is empty?
I know you didn’t ask, but I suggest, filling it up with love. Love of yourself. It takes two separately happy people to make a happy couple.

You’ll find out a lot about love here. This might shock you. So be prepared. Don’t say I didn’t give fair warning.
You think love would solve the problem, Rebekah?
You do realize that my heart is empty because of this whole love issue, right? I will check out your other blog and see if it helps…
Love of self was surely not the problem. Or am I mistaken? I’m not speaking of being selfish.
But you’re right. It is really non of my bisness. Sorry for butting in. I guess when you make things public it opens to comments. I won’t tell you what is right and wrong. I’ll just share with you my journey
You’re not butting in, silly. I’m just saying that I filled my heart with love, and now it’s aching because the person I love is far away.
I appreciate your insight and input.
I know your heart is aching. I see that. You make it very clear in your posts.
I’m glad that you don’t find me too imposing.
I like you very much. It is always fun to get to know another blogger and see how her Deep Thoughts work.
Yours intrigue me. 🙂
That excites me… do I need to add, ”No pun intended”?
Knowing you, I think I do. But I also see apattern here. At first I felt creaped out. But now I see that you are the same with all the girls. It puts me at ease.
Creeped out? That hurts…
Well…
It’s creepy that I’m nice to you?
