last chance

I pulled out all stops to try to get to you 
you stood on the mountains for a much better view 
while my mind went East, yours headed out West 
the time that I wasted, could have been better spent 

my heart went searching for a love song to sing 
you offered me passion with none of the strings 
my mind got tangled in barbwire reasons 
cut on the hope and bleeding from the lesions 

I boarded my flight and touched down at noon 
my heart left yearning beneath a crescent moon 
sleep does forsake me and so do my dreams 
nothing can blot out these feelings it seems

I pen another sonnet of a heart that is bleak 
wandering aimlessly down love's empty street 
I ponder the consequence of when we last danced 
when I knew it was finished--my heart's last chance
