Born to lose

I still dream about you
that is all I have left of you
it begins each night as one veiled shadow
dancing on the wall
followed by each an every memory marching
in cadences one by one
reminding me I was born to lose

I spent so much of my life fighting for
one lost cause or the other
till I no longer knew what I was fighting for
I wish I had said what I wanted to say
but I was scared
all I thought was I didn't want to lose
I didn't want to push you away

little did I know...
I was losing you either way
I'd forgotten ..........
I was born to lose
