Hanging on to the wind 

Little things tried 
Anything to re ignite the past 
A foolish heart 
Not wanting to let go
Blind to the writing that's been on the wall
Empty hopes 
Desperation 
Odes and gifts 
Anything , for a glimpse or a glisten of affection 
She's made up her mind 
Without words 
She has spoken volumes 
Elated moments , now haunting memories 
Futile attempts at planting seeds 
Unable to grow 
Her fingers dusted of my heart she once held 
Washing her hands in my blood 
I feel sadly for the face in the mirror 
Knowing he has tried everything 
I fell sorry for him as well as angry 
He fooled himself into thinking there was something to hold onto 
Not wanting to let go 
He loved her with all his heart 
And looked for any stones to rebuild 
The cracked foundation 
Holds more glory 
And hanging on to a heart that no longer loves you 
Is just as hopeless 
As hanging on to the wind
