Sentimentality

Holding on to past flames
like hate for an enemy 
Drowning in what was said
more clingy to what was felt
You
the starring of my dreams
the best nightmare 
and still I am 
dedicating my heart to you 
I bleed through my pages 
In my thoughts of you
whilst you give love
to lovers more deserving 
and less to my own 
Damned I am
Stupid in mind 
Wishful
to still call you 
mine
