#parked
Memories bombard my eyes
All the wrongs caused in past times
Failures on parade
Wrong choices made
Too late
(Can't change them)
Why do I stop and reminisce
When all these things
Leave me feeling like this?
What has this life become?
When you're all alone
Crying in a parking lot...
Shots left me with a wounded heart
Just like a broken vase
Put together again
It's not the same
Thoughts of death plague my mind
Runs through my head too much of the time
Try to fix it with a rhyme, a line
Tried praying for a sign
All I see is empty skies
And this is why
I'd like to know
What has this life become?
When you're all alone
Crying in a parking lot...
Silhouettes dancing through these streets
Dark shadow stalking me
The man in the mirror
That I see
Is not the best version of me
I know it
Not trying to hide it
I'm an open book
Read each line
And you'll get a small glimpse
into my life
Through silver screens
You'll see all these feelings eating at me
Tell me
What has this life become?
When you're all alone
Crying in a parking lot...

I parked in her
At the weekend.
But this time, I noted that
Some one had grit salted
The other parking spot.
This place was getting over
used and double parked.
And I wasn't sharing.
Who knows how many
Times they parked in
My spot.
So I never parked in
Her again.

we always went the same route
six-thirty in the afternoon
we'll both be on our way home
riding orange-tainted jeepneys
and i never really paid attention
to the parked cars along our way
like how i never paid attention
to everything you say
i was on the same route
six-thirty in the afternoon
i was on my way home
this time, alone
