Once Mine

I dream about you almost night and day
Your always on my mind whether it’s during school,
work or play
Whenever someone mentions your name
I get upset remembering what we once were back in the day
You were once mine
But now no more
I cry when I remember your eyes
Your smile
your face
You made me so sore
I hate that you don’t message me
The fact that you don’t care
And now you’ve got me here writing poems
About love and despair
