I'm A Sentimental Fool

I’m just a sentimental fool
Though I’m not in love with you
I can’t bring myself to discard all the photographs
They make me remember how we used to laugh
And every day I see you now
With your arms around her
And I want you to be happy
But my heart aches
When you look at her
When she smiles at you
When I know that you could give her all the love in the world
And she still wouldn’t care about you
She laces her fingers tight with hers
And follows wherever you go
I wish I could just let you be
But you still mean so much to me
Even though I should just get it go
It hurts so bad to know
That you’re with her
In your free time
You talk to her now
All the time
And she chained your heart up
Threw away the key
Though I know it has nothing to do with me
And though I’m happy to be free
My mind keeps turning back to you
And I can’t help but wonder
What you see in her
And I can’t help but wonder
If you see you’ll get hurt.

I haven't posted anything in a while so here's a little something. Just some thoughts really. Pretty personal, but I really just had to get it all off my chest.

This is really amazing, and sad.
There is so much emotion in just a few amount of words. I really like how you chose your words.

Beautiful write.

Very nice. I liked it. Liked the... flow? THe way the words moved? THe... poem in itself? I don't know, I just liked it. THe only thing I think is the last line... it seems a bit off. But other then that, like I stated, I liked it.
