Empty Chair

As I stare silently at his empty chair
I finally discover that life is not fair

Now that I need him more than ever
I realize that he’s gone forever

When we fought I should have let him have his way
But I had no idea he’d be gone today

There’s so many things I wish we had done
We should have laughed, played and had more fun

I should have said, “I love you” every day
But now our love’s been swept away
By the only thing that could break us apart
Yes, Death is the one who broke my heart

Stinging drops of regret fall from my eyes
And every time I close them, he dies.

That last line breaks your heart. The empty chair illustrates really well that feeling of emptiness of having this memory of them but no way to be close to them. Death truly is the ultimate heartbreak.
