Nothing Left
By LilGryphMaster
23 March 2005
Could be about the end of the world, or the end of an beautiful relationship.

Nothing is left
All has lost meaning

The world is cold now
The Earth has stopped spinning

Contaminate winds scatter gray ashes
Life has dried and shrivled away

I sit on the rocks
Waiting for nothing

Hoping for the end of eternity
The beginning of innocence

Thinking about all of the lifetimes
Each one of them squandered

There's nothing to pray for
Death is not an escape

Soon I will conform
To the crumbling chasms

I'll shrivel away
For nothing is left

It certainly does a good job of making one feel depressed. But it is beautifully done.

That might just be the worst spelling of that word ever.  
 
Sounds more world ending than relationship ending. Which is a shame in some ways because I reckon you're good enough with a little more work on it to make it really unclear which it is. 
 
Good luck!
