Table For One

The bowl is empty
It has been
For quite some time now
On occasion
It was filled
With
A myriad of
Different things
But continues
To remain empty
Much to my despair

I have asked others
To fill it
Unknowingly (at times)
And the result
Has been
Cracks,
A chip or two
Disappointment
Disillusionment
Or a desire to
Break the bowl
Entirely
Where the remains
Are put back
Together
With a Laugh
And a few tears
Because the bowl
Is still empty
And I wish
It were not so...
