Wishing You Were Here
by Philip F De PintoThe only furnishing
In the room
Is the loneliness
And the light
That projects
The shadier side me
On the wall
And the heartache
And the common mistake
Of thinking
You are not missing
That other
Most valuable piece
Of furnishing
That something or someone
To believe in
That wishful thinking will not retrieve 09/14/2024 Posted on 09/14/2024
