THE RED STOOL

It is not your photo
or your beloved guitar
which stands sentry
lone piper

by the arm
of your chair

It is not the dust
though it screams 
in despair
or even the anguish
that stalks
this cold air

It is the
fold up 
solitary 
lonely
red
stool

made for one
all alone
in a night
with no moon

and these tears I own now
leave a trail to the door
though I leave my heart here
it lies broke on the floor...

So much sorrow in this piece, I could feel the loneliness echo in each verse, and then that heartbreak in the last stanza, gosh my own heartstrings were pulled ?
