He looks to his left
He looks to his right
Something is wrong
She is gone

In the space where she stood
She left a trace

An element
Of herself

On her left
On her right
She wore a smile

He looks for her in the corners
Expects to find her
Checks left
Checks right
She has gone

On his left
On his right
There is the gap
where she sat

Something doesn’t feel right
She’s gone
