The Empty Chair
Eulogy for a Gamer

There is an empty chair,
at the table this day.
A hallowed place where,
a friend once played.
The roll of her dice,
my ears long to hear.
Or perhaps it would suffice,
if she should suddenly appear.
With character sheet in hand,
and a bag of Cheeze-doodles to share.
All her friends would stand,
as she sat in the empty chair.
I hear her voice a-callin’,
and it ties my heart in a knot.
For she cries, “Though a comrade has fallen,
You must play for those who cannot.”
We conquered worlds on the run,
she and I in the name of fun.
And as others may come and go,
I make both both friend and foe.
But what I long for most,
is our past now long a ghost.
