Parker Dec 2014
It's the turn of a life
Burned and saved twice
Just incase by night
Their hearts seize to glow

It's the kiss of death
Stealing your last breath
Hopelessly sinking into your eyes
Dying by a fire named bright

It's the way love likes to leave
Crumbles like a dried out leaf
Humble when clearly not clean
A pain much greater then when you bleed

It's the voucher that's bound to expire
It's the clock stuck in the same hour
It's the the way she says please
The way she gets what she needs
It's the last drink in an empty bar
It's your eternal embarrassing scar
It's the match to my gasoline
It's the way this worlds killing me
Parker Dec 2014
I'm stitched between states and finding the perfect sky
An itch I must break to hold my head high
Peace in a numb heart that preys on my wounds
It's love I must give and knowledge I must consume

I drank to a space that desires to be free
Constant relationships are holding down me
The breeze has my heart in an unknown direction
A place where I've given up on finding protection

At last we set forth to a compassless map
Unbinding ones self from there typical trap
Embracing traces from a forgotten trail
To heaven and back to discover hell
Parker Oct 2014
.
We painted it different colors hoping they wouldn't steal what looked like it belonged
Parker Jun 2014
She drinks away her sadness
on top of a broken heart
Shattered in madness
This world is tearing her apart
Fold nothing to you after what's been done
Raft-less sinking while you're just having fun
A strength I must find has me chained and confined
Blame of this kind, will change any dime
Strange, but it's mine
Tamed but defined
Remain one of a kind
You painstaking beautiful crime
Parker May 2014
The leafs fall upon your grey
To me it’s all then fade away
Once we finally stalled, the miles couldn’t speak
Time is the only thing I fear in doses that are weak

Farewells capture the hollow of my heart
Get well attached with measures broken apart
Dares that laugh for books having to end
Our time is short my lovely friend

In storms of geography and pencil fading
In poetry’s tears and the woman I am dating
Every tic is of the essence
Every line pays a price
After it all crashes, what will survive?

Signs to wrong directions paint your face
Unspoken love songs fill the drains
Attached to her letter was what left her to cry
Oh how a life without you, I’d rather die

Romance dripped over cigarettes and wine
A poet’s trip on escaping crime
The bars are but windows to the miles ahead
Longing for her touch awake in my bed


Whispers that break silence are a timeless curse
Lovers dancing to violins on a sketchy curb
The pointless picture is within her flame
A love in my veins that only she can tame
Parker May 2014
Dusty hearts tucked away
Rainy eyes and the longest days
Beauty has truly left my life
To me, you’d be, my day and night

A canvass whose paints refuse to dry
Tattooed on my skin until the day I die
I feel an addiction to run to the rain
Avoiding your face for I fear the pain

A lover whose love slipped away
Impacted my life then turned to grey
Escape I cannot from the depths of my heart
Accepting you’re gone is the hardest part

I’ve see couples laughing and dreams turn to ash
Traceless tracks where we finally crashed
Faceless masks and unfinished tasks
Basic facts that nobody asked

The clock tics, though the hands never move
Dancing in a storm next to the hidden moon
Consumed with being in tune with the music tonight
For she is gone and I am losing flight
