Old Empty Chair

I look
I view
I stare
An old empty chair

Remember solitaire
Once living room spare
Piles clean laundry there
Placed on old empty chair

Loaded on moving truck
Fit small apartment luck
Few chosen friends' derrieres
Allowed sit on old empty chair

Chair cushion unoccupied bare
Perplexed 'til adorn barren square
Folded hand-sewn quilt fashion flair
Accomplish beautification old empty chair

Birthday surprise stuffed chocolate brown bear
Arrange comfort pinpoint seat gifted somewhere
Newcomer Brumbrum's watchful eyes cold stares
Couple unaware observer sitting in old empty chair 

Bear adorned cute graphic-designed onesie
Daily chats listens buddie participant funsies
Happiness turn sadness relationship turmoil flare
Brumbrum's residence uncertain now old empty chair

Countless days 'n nights slowly pass by
Reconciliation n'er occasional tear-filled eyes
Remembrance ultimate breakup utmost rough 
Decision bear removal old empty chair tough

Place bestie bear inside huge box one morn
Drove community center amidst feelings forlorn
Offered up Brumbrum indoor yard sale a scare
Quick grab 'n snatch purchase again old empty chair 

Saturday shopping spree whim take-care
Grim search replace adorable dark brown bear
Surprise find blinds open sunshine glare
Minnie Mouse new occupant old empty chair.

Important To Be Patient

Feeling downhearted characteristics Cinderella
Arrival residence prior midnight void special fella

New age dating process both tiresome 'n problematic
Actual commitment suggest phobia phone sudden static

Surrounded painted walls familiar closed in feelings
Busyness throughout days await cell's notation rings

Certain negative hot pursuit one's hard-earned assets
Preference quality time shared available preset tactics

Doubtful be genuine unique today's world actual works
Opposite sex appears via own description bit berserk

Listen stories prospective potential partners tell
Dishonesty gut instinct grave importance heed call

Smoke or drink excess frown deal breakers first
Conversation topics morbid or ailments auto-burst

Liar, liar pants on fire no doubt leave true blue
Lie me once not about dumb enough again believe you

Dismiss consideration e'er acceptance delusional
Remain single status actual versus settle bamboozle

Steadfast self-reliant woman prevail await knight
Chivalrous still going strong rescuer be Mr. Right.

Oops!!

Write post actual
Yes, quite factual

Necessary rephrase
Life's Golden years phase

Friendships two types
Besties versus fake hypes

Like me - love me - welcome fine
Otherwise fast forward disloyal line

Ms. Goodie-two Shoes' wondrous award
Survive hell hole void family rewards

Darkness of light quiet intend remain
Peaceful participant de-stress reframe

Saying 'Good-bye' to all deem fake
Prayers continue Lord more morns awake.

Sad envision future non-smokers be health hazardous.
