Poem Commentary

This is about my cousin, who committed suicide last October.

Empty Seat

A month later

Birthday

Your twenty-first

Tears for what could have been

Balloons just for you

Thanksgiving

An empty seat

What do we have to be thankful for?

Another month

Christmas

Another empty seat at the table

An empty seat in our hearts

Your memories, your smile

A new year you'll never see
