Frank Valenti Poems

Your eyes cut like daggers deep into my soul
Seemingly gentle with undercover malice
Living my life suffering from the chalice
Feeling myself sucked into this uncharted black hole
...

How do I long for someone such as yourself

Who looks down upon my every mistake
...

When we first met I didn't know you did this
Purging your soul by slitting your wrists
Escaping a dream world for what was real
Knowing only what you could feel
...

You call yourself a father

You call yourself a man
...

The rain falls so softly on your tasteless lips

Droplets flying as you bend and turn
...

Once a cheater always a cheater is the known phrase
But the latter is just as true and you'll come to find out one of these days
I've said the same thing too many times
About those of whom that have committed adulterous crimes
...

You're prettier when you're quiet
Your voice needs to go on a diet
Blabbering nonsense with no end
Making me cringe and fingers bend
...

You lead me on in every possible way
From the looks you give and the words you say
Deep down I know who you actually are
Foreseeing an upcoming wound with a fresh scar
...

Pulling back the bolt to cycle another round
Peering through my scope it's your face I see
Thinking of the friend you used to be
You'd lay motionless before you hear the sound
...

Your eyes remind me of a time when we once were
When I thought your heart was true and pure
A sliver of hazel laced with a lot of green
Brings me back to when I was only just sixteen
...
