Lil Gary Phillips Poem
Did you know that I'm slicker than lotion.
And my poetry is always in motion.
That's why reading it feels like you're coasting.
Because it flows like a river that's twice as wide as the ocean.
If words was food then you can call my ass Seymour.
Writing so much that my left hand ain't nothing but sore.
Hoping that one day I can afford to have beautiful ceramic tile all over my floor.
Instead of all this ing green trailer house's indoor outdoor.
The reason I'm all in everytime that I write is because I'm full of and devotion.
Hoping that one day I can help my family get a much needed promotion.
If you can feel me raise your glass so we can do some damn toasting.
Hell all I can be is real because I don't have enough money for boasting.
Except life is too short for a guy that's as cold as a popsicle.
So I need to start writing more philosophical.
Lol..but I can't because it's ing impossible.
Being smart is just too big of an obstacle.
So the only thing I can do is keep writing, keep hoping, and make sure that my fingers stay crossable.....

Lil Gary Phillips Poem
Well's dry.... life sucks... so if anybody's looking I'm selling poetry ammunition.
It's called subtraction by addition.
I'm Lil Gary the world's first Lovercomedianpoetelectrician.
Broke as hell shot out to Hank because it's a family tradition.
Everyone calls me crazy but there just haters not a physician.
I guess that's all they can do because there no compation.
Just a bunch of hoping, dreaming, and wishen.
There's plenty of fish in the sea ; so you know I been fishen.
My heart's been broke more than once and I'm sooo tired of paying love's expensive admission.
Hell I even learned how to cook and clean up my own ing kitchen.
So under my roof I'll be the only one en.
Unless you have my written permission.
Without it ; poof and gone like I'm a magician.
I'm not where I want to be at in my life but this is only intermission.
I'm sitting in the front roll because I'm tired of being broke so I got to pay more attention.
And I write the way I do cause it's my souls extension.
Hoping to catch the eyes of a song needing famous musician.
Every word that I write is my ing audition.
Cause my life's not a journey y'all it's really a mission.

Lil Gary Phillips Poem
I asked her to reconsider her decision to leave and she said what I think was eather " Go to hell or Lil Gary goodbye !"
So I waited till she pulled out of my driveway to break down and cry.
It's happened many times before and not one of them had a good reason ; so why?
I thought love was supposed to last forever and so if it don't is love just a lie ?
Makes it scary when I find someone new I'm willing to trust.
But having a girl to hold at night..... well y'all for me it's a must !
What is real love anyway because I guess I've only had lust.
Watching them go away everytime while I'm left here all alone again in the dust.
Why do I keep choosing the wrong girl time after time ?
Hell it's just something I can't seem to define.
It sure makes it hard to let memories go when
you have a heart that's as big as mine.
The only ones that stayed here through it all is me, this house, and a very old pine.
And I'm starting to think we might be better off with a no trespassing sign.
All the goodbye's is making me feel just like I'm dying.
I'm not even sure when in the hell I completely stopped trying.
Or even the reason that I'm still ing crying.
I keep telling myself that it will get better one day but I'm probably just lying.
The worse thing for me everyday is going to town.
I'm always smiling so everyone seems to notice my frown.
Nothing sticks out more around here than a unhappy clown.
And trying to stay cool ain't easy while this heart in my chest is coming unwound.
So I wear shades to hide my tears and the fact that I'm down.
Hoping all these tears I'm crying won't cause me to drown.
My life is so y y'all that it's probably turning me brown.
It's getting harder and harder everyday to deny.
Cause once again I lost my love, my best friend, and only ally .
Hell my house is now becoming a very beautiful pigsty.
There's no more blue with all the red in my eyes.
And if you ever text me ; I'm sorry cause I'll never reply.
I guess me and my well both has completely run dry.
Its hard to move on when all I can think about is her kissing some guy.
Even just sitting in my yard gives me about twenty reasons to cry.
Because I can show you every single spot where they all told me goodbye...

Lil Gary Phillips Poem
After she left I started pulling petals off of a rose.
I don't think she really loved me but that's just how it goes.
You can tell that I'm dying inside because when
you see me it glows.
So as I started pulling the petals off y'all ....I had to keep my eyes closed.
One after another I unwillingly tore.
You would think I'd be good at this already because it's happened before.
But all I can think about right now is how much it hurt when she walked out of my door.
And her yelling back to me "I hate you and I don't love you no more!!!!"
So now my tears start to follow the rose petals straight to the floor.
I'm half way there and it's got my broken heart just a racing.
Because of her moving on without me ...O God .......is the unthinkable task that I'm facing.
She's the kind of girl that every guy will soon be all over and chasing.
Just thinking about it right now has got me crying, pulling petals, hoping ,and pacing.
I'm down for the count ya'll and my petals are few.
She'll never come back to me ....so this wishful thinking with rose petals is all I can do!
They say time heals all wounds but damit it's only been four days since she said ....."Its over we're through!!!"
Making me feel so dead inside that I wish in the hell I was blue!!!!
With only three pedals to go I started sweating cause my body was getting clammy and hot.
My vision's blurry from too many tears and I can't breath with a nose full of snot.
And even after everything she's done to me I still really really miss and love her a lot.
Now with two petals to go I pull one and say "She loves me !" but OMG y'all I guess she forgot.
And so the last words that I said right before I hit the floor so hard you would think I was shot.
Was...... " Awww she loves me not !!!!!!"

Lil Gary Phillips Poem
They say I got my own style.
I say it's because I been crawling for miles.
Life's ups and downs has made me so versatile.
I'm trying to stay sharp using my mistakes like a file.
I know the way that I write is not really ideal.
So I just write what I want and however I feel.
And with nothing to lose everything I write is for real.
If there's anything left you can just send me a bill.
I'm broke but l know how to bend.
And I've learned that trust is earned so I only kept one friend.
I write every poemsic on my phone so I don't have a pen.
I have no room for drama so when it comes my way I mark it return to sender and send.
I write rhymes that flow like a river.
Carrying my words that I want to deliver.
Guess you can say Lil Gary's a giver.
Filtering life's hard times just like a damn liver.
I hope I'll be around for a while.
And I hope everyday I can share my big smile.
Waiting on the day a publisher will get my number and dial.
And say damn Lil Gary we sure love your crazy real ass funny new style...
