I´ve got left/ has left to me?
Hello amigos!
Your love is all that I´ve got left.
Your love is all that has left to me.
Do the sentences above mean the same?
Thanks,
Sam

I'm not a teacher, but I think the first one is OK, whereas I find the second one senseless.
In this second one I guess you were trying to say "Your love is all that's left" or "(...) is all that remains"

I think the second sentence should be....
Your love is all that has been left to me.
They both sound similar to me.
I'm not a native speaker of English, so please take it as my opinion.

At a guess, first works but take 'that' out and it should be better. Your love is all I have got left.
The second one sounds pretty awkward.
Not a teacher at all.

The second one, with 'has' is an odd collocation. It would work as,
Your love is all that's/that is left to me.
It sounds flowery/literary, like a the lyrics of a song or the words of a poem.

Absolutely no way.
"Your love is all that is left" is ok.

Is it 'cause it's a subject relative pronoun, not an object relative pronoun? 
Your love is all. It is left.
Your love is all [. It] that is left.

Re: I´ve got left/ has left to me?
Your love is all that I´ve got left.
Is it the right sentence without "left"? Please.
