The Hollow Seat Of Yesterday

A glass of rain sits by the sill
The storm long gone but never still
It holds the sky within its curve
A quiet weight I don't deserve

The hollow seat of yesterday
Where we once laughed
Where we once lay
Now gathers dust
A muted grey
The hollow seat of yesterday

Your voice was wine
It stained my chest
A rich bouquet
A quiet rest
But now the air is dry
It's cold
No trace remains of what we told

If love's a book
We burned the page
If hearts are stages
We quit the stage

The hollow seat of yesterday
Where we once danced
Where we once stayed
Now just a ghost in light’s decay
The hollow seat of yesterday

I asked the sea
It wouldn't reply
I asked the Moon
It dimmed the sky
I held the stars but they slipped through
The universe won't give me you
