Sentiment is a warm place to go to
when your alone.
It has many rooms,
where each door opens with a sigh.
You take a peek inside
and because nobody is watching
you leave another sigh
for the next visitor to collect.
Remember though
to leave the door open as you stand inside.
If the door closes
you could be trapped inside.
Forever living in the past.

In the second line, "your" should be "you're" ... other than that this is an interesting take on the prompt and I like that you created sentimentality into a place
thank you for entering!
