addiction
Parker Dec 2020
im addicted to you.
so please, give me a taste of your lips.
i cant live through these withdrawls.

perfect
Parker Nov 2020
when i look into your eyes i can tell im dulling down.
my edges are rounding,
my color is dimming,
im not as shiny.
im trying to be perfect,
but maybe im not perfect enough.
Parker Dec 2024
i hope you find what i gave you
in someone else.
i would’ve crossed oceans for you if you asked me to do so.
even though one of my biggest fears is open water.

butterflies
Parker May 2021
butterflies in my head
my stomach
my arms
all around me.
you leave me with the fluttering feeling of their wings
their overwhelming colors
their need to be around you.
you leave me with butterflies in my tummy
flipping whenever they see you
and for some reason i cant get them to stop.
those **** butterflies
84 · Sep 2020
im not leaving.
Parker Sep 2020
through days of darkness
and nights of bittersweet dreams
my love for you will never fade,
and neither will i

ghosts in my room
Parker Feb 2024
some days i let it curl into my side while i pet its head softly
other days i scream at it until my mouth tastes of blood
most days i watch it lurk around my room, picking up certain things and dropping them back down again
grief isn’t a friend, but it’s no stranger either.
it’s made it’s home in the pit of my stomach
the ghost of you will forever haunt me
83 · Dec 2020
different
Parker Dec 2020
youre a sunset lover, while i linger till the sunrise.
you listen to the rhythm i listen to the beat.
you love warmth while i enjoy the cold.
we are perfectly imperfect for eachother...
right?

breaking
Parker Dec 2020
i can feel my heart slowly sinking in my chest,
and the only thing i can say is
its okay
Parker Aug 2020
I laid there, looking at the slight lines in the star speckled sky where we traced out the constellations of our love wishing I could remember the day you left
the day I find vague and forgotten in the thin lines of time dotted with my tears.
the days we sat in my car and sang seems dark, contrasting to the bright memories of you.
I long to remember the day you left me, stranded in the stars
but as I sit at the bottom of this bottle I find it hard to remember a thing

prison
Parker Jan 2021
my brain is suffocating me.
my body is a prison.
i’m tired of being me.
i’m trapped behind bars and the only sliver of freedom i have is when the blade grazes my skin.
i long for freedom.
to be free
of this prison, that is my body.
80 · Sep 2020
am i needed?
Parker Sep 2020
"Do you love me or do you need me" i asked with a tear rolling down my cheek
and with a wicked gleam in your eyes, you said
"figure it out yourself"
80 · Mar 2021
i love you more
Parker Mar 2021
we used to fight over who loved the other more,
i guess theres one fight i did win.
80 · Aug 2024
are you still out there?
Parker Aug 2024
i heard someone with your laugh today.
it made me feel like you were still alive
80 · Nov 2020
i love you
Parker Nov 2020
i uttered those three words.
gently, softly spoken.
it was 3 am and the only sound that drifted through the room was the rasp in my i's.
i remember you looking at me and smiling,
only to softly whisper them back to me.
thank you..
thank you for loving me.

Parker Dec 2020

im gonna start making them out of steal i guess.
79 · Sep 2021
maybe not forever
Parker Sep 2021
no we weren't forever.
the promises faded,
the smiles disappeared into sorrowful glances,
the laughing eyes turned into glossed over stares.
no we weren't forever,
but you made me feel like we would be.
so thanks for the hope i guess

you scare me
Parker Jun 2021
it scares me.
the way the world beats me down, pulverizing my hope and dreams.
the way the air smothers me,
no matter how smooth the oxygen is i fail to breath.
it scares me.
how you can make the worlds fists halt.
how you can make my lungs expand with ease.
you scare me baby, but i love it.

knocking
Parker Dec 2020
i dont want you to knock on my door.
cause i know if i saw you standing in my doorway,
id run to you like you didnt break my heart.
77 · Dec 2020
im me, but who am i.
Parker Dec 2020
after a while all the thoughts will resurface.
you can shove every sort of pill down my throat,
force me to learn 'skills',
make my parents into new people.
you can fix the world around me but you cant fix me.
and we all know what the real problem is.
its not you, or him, my mom, my dad.
its me.
im the issue and you cant fix a person thats lived 7 years of their life feeling hopless.
yet ill let you try.
cause god knows i wanna be okay.
just like you want me to be.
kinda a vent not really a poem

the way he dances
Parker Oct 2020
for the way he dances is as graceful as the angels voices.
the way his head moves, his hair following every direction his feet go.
his arms spin, his head nods, his fingers tap out the beat.
hes living in the moment, for the way he dances is so graceful,
how could i not fall for him.
77 · Nov 2020
..
Parker Nov 2020
..
i find myself doing things we once did with him.
and it makes me realize how much of an impact you caused me.
i cant get away, i cant stop thinking of things i said to you that i have now said to him.
youre stuck in me.
youre trapped within me.
and i dont want you to be but its quite a comforting feeling.
i guess i like the fact that i remember.
im not sure
you tell me
77 · Dec 2024
could i call you tonight?
Parker Dec 2024
would you feel sick if i called you?
would your stomach knot up, turning into twists and turns?

would you tell me to not do that again?
to leave you alone and let you call me when you’re available?

what would you do?
i miss your voice.
77 · Oct 2020
#3 forgetfulness
Parker Oct 2020
i can hardly remember the days i spent with you.
i forgot your voice,
the ways your hands felt against mine,
the way your giggle sounded.
i forget the moments i once lived for.
im forgetting you.
or maybe this bottle ******* away the memories too.
the feelings/emotions series
Parker Sep 2020
what the hell am i supposed to do when im knelt on my knees,
holding my beating heart out to you.
and you dont know which piece to take.

solitude
Parker Sep 2024
this ongoing solitude of mine
is how i silently whisper into the breeze that i miss you.
i’ll never go back i’ll never go back i’ll never go back.

sitting, waiting, wishing
Parker Dec 2024
ill sit in the living room and watch the clock tick.
ill sink further and further into the plush of the couch,
waiting.
all good things come with time
and you are one of those things.
ill watch the seconds, hours, days, weeks, months, even years
tick by.
my smile will never fade, my hands will never fidget, my eyes will never falter.
i will wait for you,
for as long as you need me to.
you are worth the time and the effort.
i really hope you know that no matter how much time you need.. ill be there for you.
75 · Oct 2021
shooting stars
Parker Oct 2021
i have wished upon many shooting stars in my lifetime
waiting for the proper one to come.
i wished and wished until i fell upon you,
the most brilliant star in my little galaxy.
but like all shooting stars, many people wished upon you as well
and fell captive to your wondering gaze.
if only i was a shooting star,
then maybe youll wish upon me.

angels
Parker Aug 2020
I find myself listening to classical music,
its not as angelic as your voice but it gets the job done.
74 · Feb 2024
run home to me
Parker Feb 2024
i can’t forgive what you did
but i miss you so much it hurts
Parker Dec 2024
ive always told myself "i can do this on my own."
i can draw the blade and pierce it through the ones in my way.
i can watch their blood pool beneath my feet, and feel no remorse.

but my hands are stained crimson and there are tears in my eyes.
my hands search, not for a blade but, for you.

i do not want to stain your clothes with my past,
but i need you like the air i breathe.

i cannot fight alone.
74 · Dec 2020
devil town.
Parker Dec 2020
devil town is colder in the summer time,
id lose my mind at least couple thousand times,
hold my hand tight,
we'll make it another night.

i still get a little scared of something new but i feel a little safer when i'm with you.

falling doesn't seem so bad when i know you're falling this way too.
cavetown has my heart tbh
Parker 2d
is there a heart still beating deep within my chest?
are there lungs that still fill up with air?
is there a brain that still fires its chemicals?
are there still bones holding me up?

am i alive?
or am i just living?
you stole the oxygen from my lungs when you left.
73 · Dec 2020
make you love me
Parker Dec 2020
ill make you fall in love with the way i say your name.
like the gentle flame of a candle light.
ill make you fall in love with the way i wipe your tears.
softly and lovingly.
ill make you fall in love with me.
and leave you wondering why you ever did.
im sorry

natures way
Parker Dec 2020
lay me down in the middle of a field, covered in primroses and lavender poppies.
let the sun wash me over and the clouds cover me gently.
allow the bugs and birds to sing me their simple songs.
cover me in the simplicity of nature till the sun falls.
i want to be one with the earth and live ever more.
72 · Sep 2020
full of a sort of love
Parker Sep 2020
i speak.
the clouds that once fill my lungs seeping out with every breath, as you refill them with daisies.
the pain i once felt in the bottom of my stomach, washed away with words that roll of your tongue.
its a never ending cycle of healing,
through softy spoken words soaked in sweat,
through the ever so gentle touch of your lips,
through the way your love fills me to the very brim.
although i am broken, i can slowly feel my pieces come together when im with you.
72 · Aug 2020
always and forever.
Parker Aug 2020
our song is composed within broken hearts and late nights comforting eachother on calls until early morning.
our song is played through old record players, and car radios
our bandaged hearts mending a little more with each time it plays, holding our hands as it lead the way to the end.
the end of time, where we are always and forever.
Parker Aug 2024
i can feel time slowly drifting away.
these little moments that i watch through cracked pavement and try to grasp like weeds on the summer sidewalk.
these memories are supposed to be the highlight of my formative years, yet they filter through my fingertips and leave remnants of a life not lived in my palms.
was i supposed to follow this path?
is this what im supposed to be?
i started college. its not going well
71 · Apr 2021
my eyes
Parker Apr 2021
you watched me cry one day,
without realizing the pain in my eyes.
although you looked into them
you saw right through me.
71 · Dec 2020
fix me
Parker Dec 2020
crimson rivers escape me as my lung exhale the pain.
alluring ravines cross my skin as your lips try to heal my hurt.
im trying to fight the good fight but it keeps on getting worse.
i hope my bruised and bloodied arms will never make you leave me.
im trying my best to heal the pain, but only your words can fix me.
71 · Dec 2020

i love you more than you know,
and i hope you realize that before i lose you too.

#2: nostalgia
Parker Oct 2020
that song plays.
i see you, your face as your hair blows around sticking to your lips.
i see him, his fingers tapping along to the drums on his steering wheel.  
i see her, her fingers intertwined with his, screaming the lyrics out his window.
i see them, nodding their head looking at you with the sweetest eyes. not knowing the song but enjoying the energy.
then you see me, our eyes met.
and for the first time in forever, i felt at place.
the song ends.
and so do the worn out memories of you. my beachboy.
da emotions series :)

Parker Dec 2020
i thought i saw you standing there, in my room.
but when i turned on my light it was just a chair with a jacket thrown over.

dead flowers
Parker Dec 2020
you cant water dead flowers,
itll only drown them.
relationships are hard. just remember this.

dear angel,
Parker Oct 2020
never in a million years did i think i would meet an angel like you.
with silky hair, and devilish blue eyes.
i couldn't get enough of you.

but as time went on i realized you were a fallen angel. something deprived of the devil.
your kisses were lukewarm, your heart was frozen,
and the only thing you ever did with me was tear my heart out and rip into thousands of threads.
you were once an angel, fallen from grace.

so now, i hope you rot in the depths of hell for all of eternity.

like the devil you've become.

dying roses
Parker Dec 2020
i love you he said,
handing me a dying rose.
and as he turned around to leave, the petals started floating away.
one
by
one.
and as each fell, he said
he loved you
he loved you not.
and by the end, all i had was the stem of the once beautiful rose,
and the petals.
showing how broken our love really was.
68 · Sep 2020
to me youre perfect
Parker Sep 2020
when i stare at the sky searching for the dim moonlight i see your face in the stars.
when i look for seashells on the beach i see your face in the waves.
when i walk through the forest i see your face in the trees.
when im asked for my definition of perfect the first thing i see is you. your smile, your eyes, your hair, your shoulders.
i see you. youre my definition of perfect.
and no matter what you say, or do. you always will be

drowning
Parker Nov 2020
i feel like im drowning.
in unsaid words, unwritten poetry, unvoiced thoughts.
i can feel myself sinking into the bottom of this pit.
with my hands in shackles and my ankles tied.
im sinking.
everything echos down here.
im almost gone.
every thing is so cold.
