On a chair

On a chair

ON a chair

sat a leather

jacket and in

it was a

note to me.

The note said

thanks for the

inspiration and never

gives up on

your poetry because it

kept me going.

The leather jacket

was giving to

me form his mother.

She told me

if he died he

wanted me to

have the jacket

so I will

keep it put

up so I donot

lose it or I

would never forgive

myself.

On the chair

that still sits

in his room

sits the jacket

that suppose to

giving him when

he came back

but now it

will just sit

there because he

will never return.

on a chair

there is empty seat.

On a chair

sits a leather

jacket that will

never be wear again.
