Kenny Mantinelli Poems

Thinking once again,
Through my mind you roll;
Thinking about my life,
About how you make it whole.
...

I'm sorry that I broke your heart,
I'm sorry everything fell apart;
I'm sorry things didn't go as planned,
I'm sorry I let go of your hand.
...

Tick, Tick, Tock,
Off goes the clock;
Half-past one,
Time for me to run.
...

My mind is scattered like a jigsaw puzzle,
Confused as all hell;
Not sure which pieces go where,
No longer can I tell.
...

Along the fields,

Of green grass;
...

Why did my life have to wrap around you like a boa constricter?
Feeding off your heart like a clock feeds off a ticker;
Everything that we went through;
All this pain because of you.
...

Silence breaks over the room.
Nothing but thoughts around;
A plain face covers the gloom,
Nothing left but a smirk and a frown.
...

Here he stands,
Strong and alone;
The temptaions arise,
A boy becomes grown.
...

Emotional rollercoaster,
As I climb up high,
Fall down low,
Say goodbye,
...

You make my life complete,
You make my heart stop its beat;
You make everything I know twist and turn,
Yet in an instant, everything starts to burn.
...
