An Empty Seat

I saw

The seat next to you

Was empty and unwanted

But never did I get a glimpse

In the rear view

"Of things which were meant to be

But would rather never see"

Then I saw you stand

And run through that door

When you came to a halt

And stared out the window

Said "Lights are always brighter

If seen at the other end"

Must I see

The seat next to you

Is cursed and discarded

But never did I hear again


The echoes

"Of the ones who sat beside you"

-P.S I wrote this one for a person whose friendship is broken now..and how I used to wish they would always be together and happy.
