All That's Left

All That's Left

A Poem by Aram Alexander
"

Everybody makes mistakes, but that's no excuse.

"

I keep hoping that I'll find you somehow, each day tomorrow,
so I can finally show you how I feel, and let go of all this sorrow.
All I need from you is a second chance to capture your heart.
Yeah all I want from you is another shot to go back to the start.
If only I could turn back the clock and go backwards in time,
I'd revisit that night and make your love mine.
Make everything perfect like it should have been,
full of loving care instead of tainted by sin.
But instead I had to go and throw it all away,
if only I'd know then the price that I'd pay.
But I've got no one but myself to blame,
for gambling your love in my foolish game.
Each day I try to drown my sorrow at the bottom of a glass,
but no amount of alcohol drowns out the voices of the past.
Now all that's left are burning dreams in the black of night.
And all that's left are scattered ashes of another life.
And all I've got are memories worn down by the hands of time.
And all I have from you are the scars I hide deep down inside.
And all that's left...
