Just a lonely chair.
as shadows paint the walls,
just a broken heart
in a lonely chair
defeated by it all.
Your missing laughter fills my ears
as tears fill my eyes
and your perfume lingers longingly,
a reminder of a lost prize.
Your footsteps echo ghostly
upon the dusty floor,
leaving a trail of heartbreak
amidst emotions bleeding and raw.
I loved you in all truth
and laid my life at your feet,
my soul was yours forever,
my heart, was yours to keep.
But as I bathed in your radiance
you wallowed in shadows dark,
and as I cherished your very presence
you were beginning to break my heart.
You owe me the truth,
if not your heart,
what did you find in shadows,
that finally tore us apart?
You left without warning
you cleared the cupboards bare,
and all you left for me
was this lonely, lonely chair.
Shadows paint the walls
whilst heartache fills the air,
and I'll just remain here,
in this lonely, lonely chair.
