Less of Me Left For You

Love never wanes from an ember
Once the spark turns into a fire
There'll always be a smoldering remnant 
Cause lust never fades past desire

Time runs eternal but not for us
True love is only known by a few
The longer we wait, the more times erased
And there's less of me left for you

Less of all good time
And memories to make
Less of us to know love
That gives and does not take

Less of wondering
When will we light the fuse 
Less of me left.....for you

Inside every heart lives someone
Who's constantly being locked away
The torture is not in their being
It's how on our mind their love stays

While fortune and riches are different
They both are something you can lose
Money is made, but loves not replaced
If there's less of me....left for you

I'm a broken down man
Who has love left to prove
Before there's less, of me.....left for you

I really like this. The less of me left for you is a great hook that just rolls off the tongue! This should be a song already. Very well done!.......Pat
