One Thing Missing

there's one car missing from the two car garage
one dinner plate from the table
is this the point where i give up
count the losses if i am able

there's one toothbrush missing from the bathroom
one pillow from the unmade bed
the only conversation that carries on
are the things we left unsaid

only one book on the nightstand
where the light remains off
i've cried as much as i can
but can you ever cry enough

there's one heart that's broken in this man made tomb
one glass that's always empty
with nothing here and nothing i can do
a promise kept all too well lately

there are two smiles missing from this one house
one fragrance that no longer lingers
i'm sure you've figured out by now
there's one person that misses you being here
