All That's Left

[via]

this moment is slipping
out of my hands, love
and i'm trying to stop it
trying to glue it in place
with my tears, sweat and blood
but i feel it, like a rope
tossed out as a lifeline
and with each strand,
leaves a little bit of hope
leaves a little bit of love
until these dreams lie lifeless
at my feet and all that's left
are these cascading tears
and a lonely catch in my breath.
