Poem For Me (Poem by Phillip Kannaly)

Turn my tears into ink
and my skin into paper
All these things that I think
my mind can't escape her

Use my pain as fuel
To jumpstart my brain
Just another useless tool
As I sit in the rain

Outside your house
wishing you'd come out
Quiet as a mouse
Hope I'm the one you're thinking about

Tattooed inside my mind
is your smiling face
No one else I find
Could ever take your place

But you didn't feel the same
it was my worst fear
I bet he forgets your name
Within the next year

For you my heart will always be open
No matter how badly it's broken
Because only you can
save me when I'm choking

So this poem is to you
the one that got away
until my arms hold you
...another day

Whenever, Whoever (Original Poem)

How come whenever
we start to fight
Even when you're wrong
it always seems you're right

How come whenever
you speak to me
No matter who's around
you're the only one I see

How come whenever
you look into my eyes
And tell me that you love me
I always act surprised

How come whenever
we're lying in your bed
I secretly wonder
who you could be thinking of instead

How come whenever
you whisper in my ear
No matter who hard I try
your words are never clear

How come whenever
you leave and go away
You say you'll be back soon
when you know you're going to stay

How come whenever
I remember you're not here
Tears begin to fill my eyes
and confirm my deepest fear

To My Father (Original Poem)

I'm sorry I'm not perfect
and all I do is wrong
But daddy, please forgive me
I just want to belong

I'm sorry I'm not flawless
and always make you mad
I'm sorry I'm not that perfect girl
and all I do is bad

Daddy, I'm sorry I'm not pretty
and I'm really not that smart
But daddy, please still love me
and mend my broken heart

I'm sorry if you hate me
I hate me everyday
But daddy, please forgive me
Have a Happy Father's Day

Look Ahead (Original Poem)

My days are filled with lonely lies
no one can hear my pleas and cries
If only your hand was mine to hold
then maybe my heart wouldn't be so cold

People talk and people stare
I have to pretend I don't care
Hurtful stories are spread around
I'm trying to stand my ground

You people think I have it all
But you've never been there to see me fall
why don't you all just look ahead
Forget about me, I'm already dead

Two Friends (Original Poem)

Friends joined together
only to be taken away
by choice and by fate

Now one remains
while the other sits in the clouds
with a gun to his head
realizing what he had done

A tear slides down his cheek
and drops to the earth
he lets the rain fall
to tell her it's alright

....he's here

Erase The Marks (Original Poem)

Erase the marks,
start a new page
Slit your wrists,
the blood will drain
All your pain,
will disappear
Don't you worry,
no more fear
No more fake smiles,
no more pretend
Luckily for you,
this is the end

STD Dance [Love Waits] (Original Poem)

In the dark
your kiss is light
Your touch sending me shivers
of delight
Your smile so warm
all of this so new
I realized then
what you wanted to do
Your hair so moist
your lips so fine
Now I'm wishing
I could call you mine
I let down my guard
hiding my shame
Not wondering whether
you remember my name
Then it's all over
and I'll say goodbye
knowing then
it was all a lie
