Empty
Empty room
empty desks
empty chairs
empty air
Empty after all this time together
empty after all the questions
empty after all the answers
empty after all the laughter
Empty because it’s time to make room
empty because it’s time for someone else to be here
empty because it’s time to go forward
empty because it’s time whispering messages in bloom
Empty because you filled it all
empty because you built it
empty because you dismantled it
empty because you knew the weight was too much to haul

As a teacher, this makes me miss the past year with my students. I’m sad to see them go, but as your poem states “it’s time to make room… for someone else to be here.” Thank you for sharing!
The heartache is real with some groups. Thank you for reading, Alora. : )

Definitely crushing.
