I'm left with
Violent stares
Awkward smiles
Perpetuated care
I'm left with
Everything is temporary
It'll go away someday
There's no need for matrimony
But
What if I liked looking into his eyes
What if his eyes were lit with laughter
Word to Dorothy Parker
What if I wanted some love
Some real deal, your heart will heal
It's mine to steal
Love
But
No,
Things happen
Lies are mapped and
The person you once knew, grows up
They don't perpetually love you
They put anything in the world above you
Cause' they're tired
Of everything is temporary
And broken promises
Prominent dominance
Your love is incompetent
And it's so sad to see
That the tables turn
But
What they really don't know
Is
The tables turned on me
I'm the one trapped In a country that was set free
I'm the one temporarily
Scaredly
Maintaining the
Thought of crazily
Living
Without you, love
Something that taught me
Brought me
Took my soul and locked me
Told me everyone is sorry
People can be cocky
Moms are always lofty
So
That's it
Things change
Friends reaggrange
It won't matter yesterday
Today is just a replay
That's what they told me
Everything is temporary
It'll go away someday
There's no need for matrimony
But tables turn
Bridges burn
And I'm always the one left to judge
Sun and Mars
Life behind bars
It's up to you
It all goes on
With a song
Will you be the hook
They said
Deja Vu
It's up to you
To change your ******* end
Perpetuate that smile
Violently walk
Triumphantly step while
Making conversation worth while
But
They forgot to mention
Some veterans don't get a pension
Sometimes it's hard to listen to lectures
When your whole life is hard as dentures
And your only love is within pictures
Burned
Loved and mourned
Between the stars and moon
You shine brighter
The bridges burned
The tables turned
On you
It's your life
There's a knife
There's some strife
There's Christ
What're you gonna do
..
Dorothy Parker
There's a reason why the title is called Dorothy Parker opposed to Sylvia Plath or Emily Dickinson, really read the words and you'll discover deeper meaning.

senseless heart
Oh I miss you
Your light eyes
Oh and your crooked smile
I felt it
I felt us
Prospering into something beautiful
You'll never know
Oh how I would've loved you
Every inch of me misses you
But I step into a new direction
Everyday
Was it the way the sun shined on us?
Maybe, how you kissed my cheek so gently..
Was it unforgettable moments
or corny jokes
Doesn't matter, I miss you
Painful smiles in lost thoughts
Of things that are amazing
Remember me
Remember my name
Not about how we kissed
But about why we kissed..
Why you leaned in
Am I beautiful
or does my **** look good in these jeans?
You made me smile so much
I don't remember the last time I smiled over just looking at someone
Eyes closed, steady mind
Shrewd intentions
Can't let you hurt me again
Lover boy
Can't let you heart me again
Lover boy
Desperate need
Desperate me
Lonely trees, shade filled thee
Oh I miss you
Your lips so the same
But my reaction so different
Home, is what you are
Remember my name
Lover boy
Remember our first time
First time I was with you
First time I realized you were trouble
I don't know why but I won't front
It was weird.. Sensational even
Crazy leaving.. you
But it's what I have to do
Can't keep hurting
Have to try to desert these feelings
My heart aches today and yesterday was the same but when the sun sets my heart deserves a new tomorrow
Vertigo is what you give me
And when I spin
The blurs taking over my eyes
Resemble you
And all the things you would do
But I have to remember
Half plus half is whole
But my dole wasn't your other half
And my half doesn't fit yours
So I guess this is the end
In an never ending love
Unforgettable blonde hairs on your arms and the back of your neck
And I know you care
Somewhere along the lines
We fell off and died
Only when I opened my eyes I wasn't in heaven
I'm 6 ft under these perpetuated feelings
Man I could almost kiss the dreams of you in my head
These memories almost bring me to the past oh the past I don't want to ******* remember
It reminds me of the love
Of the pain so much more than I already remind myself
Hazel eyes
They glared just at me
The world would stop
But our utopia would persist in it's hope of something unbelievable
Unattainable , the end is here
And I hear your end
I'll be listening lover boy, maybe someday the stars will align to let us know our shared destiny
So until then I'll create my own faith and forget you
This is for you-

— The End —
