BAR STOOLS

Bar stools
They sit there at the end of the night
All alone
Bereft of the people that kept them company.
The shaded light
Making them look even more lonely than they are ;
As if they miss you as much as I do-
Your butt in that seat,
Your laughter echoing across the counters,
As you joshed with Pete and Rob.
The place is emptier without you
And my heart is too,
Where I cleared off a shelf
For memories of you.
