ABSENCE

hard to describe

n' where did all the letters go?
can you miss my words
which i never wrote to you.
do i need another amen?
just to renew the policy
of my hopes.
wasn't meant to be rude
was just the truth
i wasn't alone
was there with the empty seat.
n' here i stand
to mark my presence
but i knew i was
comfortably absent.
