A letter to the lover of Frank Sinatra

(This has been written a while ago)

Frank Sinatra sings to his lover

He says she is his only way of life

The only way he knows

Did she listen? Did she cry?

Because my lover never listens,

He kisses the lips of another

And I die.

The autumn leaves fall down the streets

Soon to aloof the mighty tree

And as I reminisce your memories, I think of my defeats

I think of the ways you held me and the way you are holding she

The autumn is upon us

Just like the mighty tree, I stand unprepared

For the nostalgia I feel inside my guts

Thinking of all the music you sang and all the words left unheard

I think of you, you who has abandoned me

You who ripped my heart out of my body

Yet you refused to set me free

You who left me with eyes so soggy

And slow danced with somebody that isn’t me

You drank your bloody wine

Held her sweaty hands into the night

Walked our streets with her under a moon so divine

Took her to my place, my chair, my light, despite

Tell me something now

While drunk did you

Slur your words and my name allow

To escape your lips, now tell me how

You took her into your arms

Saw my face on hers

Held her closer to see

The agonized soul of mine

Looking into the dead eyes of thou

Do you think of me when you are with her

Drunk and desperate, sulking into her embrace

Do you reminisce on where you are now and where you were

Do you see her the way I do, an ebony crow with such disgrace

And when you sober up and remember it isn’t I,

Does your heart sink to your legs, do you lie

And from her you shy

Do you chug your coffee 

Light your cigarette, my memories deny 

I wonder if Frank Sinatra, writhed in pain

When he realized that lovers like mine and his

Cannot feel love

That all the words we rhyme go in vein

I wonder if he knows all that and still loves her

Just as much as I love you
