Standing, in a Moment

Take it from me; take it all.
Leave me no heart to bear or song to sing.
Remove every last sentiment of a love worth saving.
Seize each whisper that was delivered in love.
Steal the trappings displayed on my wall.
         Standing, accepting my fate.

I have only what is remains in my soul to cherish.
I have distant memories of a love that was my life.
I have the scent of your mouth pressed to my lips.
I have a thousand nights spent looking into your eyes.
I have the notion of you, they way I want you to be.
         Every moment saved in a teardrop.
