Two chairs slid out
Two people sat
Two poets picked up a pen
They wrote words of sadness
Phrases of how they were broken
Stanzas of wanting to feel love
Longing, hoping, and wishing
Their paper bared witness to the emptiness they felt, feel
They shared what they couldn't bring themselves to say out loud
Two people stood
Two chairs pushed in
Two poets put down their pen
Never knowing
what was right in front of them
