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
