Few Left Standing

A moment whispered
A fleeting thought
A lifetime lived
In one short breath
I sit alone in a quiet place
Remembering a smile
A smile that in one instant
Drowns out the sorrows of the world
A smile from the face of innocence
I sit and watch
As the seasons change
Falling like dying leaves
I sit and watch as the cold hands
Choke at my existence
You're not the only one
You're hurting
You stare expressionless
As our worlds are torn apart
I reach for your hand
Why don't you reach back?
God knows my heart
He knows my desire
She knows my inside
And how I tear at the pain
Of watching you die
When I pray I'm wishing
You were with Him
