contradictions
Parker Sep 2024
i don’t miss you, and please never contact me again
but if you did i’d answer because i miss the warmth in your voice and spending my nights with you.
but please don’t contact me, i never wanna see your face again.
seeing you again is the last thing i would ever want, but it was so warm outside and the stars were so visible in the darkness of the sky and i couldn’t sleep so i should’ve been on the way to your house.
i wish i could get over you, but i already am.
i wish you’d come back but please stay so far away from me.
i don’t love you anymore but i still think about you all the time.

pity?
Parker Nov 2020
why am i so sorry for myself?
why am i filled with pity?
i guess i finally realized the trauma has eaten its way at me.
but now all i am is filled with sorry feelings and pain.
why cant i think, why is this empathy weighting at me.
i cant continue to be sorry for myself.
but all i am is pity.

the art of healing.
Parker Aug 2020
trust in me.
trust in the way the leaves fall
the way the clouds move
the way the stars shine.

trust in us.
the way the world turns
the way the sun burns
the way the seasons change.

trust in the change.
the way the heart heals
the way the mind mends
the way the lungs refill.

trust in yourself.
its all you truly have
its the only things there for you always
its your canvas.

trust in you, trust in me, trust in us.
together we heal.
together we grow.
we can do it.

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.
imgone.
dont
       forget
me
Parker Dec 2024
if you asked me,
“why do you do the things you do?”

i’d tell you,
“it’s just the way i am.”

although, this is not true.
i am the way i am because my soul is intertwined with yours.
my movements are a mirror, my voice is a copy.
my heart screams your name,
and my lungs breathe your air.

i was molded in your shadow,
and i am content with that.

so, perhaps, im a liar.
to everyone but you.
you’d call me out on it anyways. might as well be authentic

Parker Aug 2020
after months of intoxicated thoughts.
thousands of daydreams on a high.
weeks of sober tears.
i’ve decided that it’s better to be safe then sober.
cause when i’m sober i think of you,
but when i’m under the influence i remember you.

wondering
Parker Nov 2020
i can stare at you for hours and still wonder the same things.
how such gentle hands have held up the worlds fires.
how such loving eyes have seen the worse aray of things.
how such sensitive ears have heard the worst words around.
i wonder and wonder about you.
yet you still leave me breathless
i love you teehee

thank you
Parker Feb 2021
thank you for looking past the fake light in my eyes.
thank you for looking past the man made scars that graze my skin.
thank you for feeling the tension in my shoulders.
thank you for being with me.
thank you for being there.
thank you bub.
thank you.

wicked games.
Parker Oct 2020
you always loved card games.
slaps, war, jacks.  you name it, we played it.
but your favorite card game was called hearts.

we dealt our love, feelings, friends. we threw them all on the table.
you had me deal my heart.

and we played.

like always, since it was your favorite, you won.
taking what was dealt on the table and walking out.

i still think about this wicked game you played. and i still think about my heart. i wonder if it beats for you, i doubt it would. but sometimes in the earlier hours if the morning ill see you.

and i can feel my old heartbeat in my fingertips, slowly drifting me off to sleep. and making me think, if part of me still longs to play the game.
kinda old but i like it

your side
Parker Oct 2020
i had a dream,
you were in my arms.
our songs playing in the background.
simply melodies mixed in with giggles and deep breaths.

when i woke up i sighed,
i'm tired if your side being so cold
come home

nursery rhymes
Parker Dec 2020
now i lay me down to sleep, i pray the lord my soul to keep.
to get me through the brutal nights so i can put up another fight.
and if i die among the day i hope he finds another way,
to let me die among the rest,
so i can be my very best.
dead and in the ground lol

soft breathes and unspoken agreements.
a forbidden call to the stars,
a plea to bring back what once was.

silly.
Parker Aug 2020
you always told me to never apologize for silly things, that I didn't need too.
but what am I supposed to do, when Im laying breathless on my bathroom floor, and all you want is an apology for something I never did.
I think that's quite silly.
I've never understood this.
Parker Dec 2024
you’re not hard to love.
you make love feel like fresh pressed coffee atop the window sill.
like the first warm breeze of spring.
you are everything warm in the world encapsulated into one living being.
you are love, in every sense of the word.

you are worth the work.

never thought
Parker Oct 2020
i never thought someones breathing patterns would become music to my ears.
i never thought not hearing someones voice would put me in physical pain.
i never thought i would admire someone like i once admired the moon.

there came you.

beautiful sadness

your memories leave me with a beautiful sadness.
a lonely comfort,
a broken promise.
yes you left, but you also left a piece of you.
thank you.

imperfections
Parker Nov 2020
i find that most poets write about their lovers eyes, or the way they say their name.
these have never meant much to me, not compared to you.
i could say your eyes are like the rouge oceans, or unruly storms.
i could say your voice was the calmest song to exist, or compare it to a sip of whiskey.
i could say all these things about you and they would be true.
but if im being honest, no words will ever be able to describe how perfectly imperfect you are.
Parker Dec 2024
your silence is agonizing.
i got so used to never hearing from you,
only for it to change in a second.

now you’re gone again.
leaving me right when you had roped me back in.

i wish you’d let me love you,
for old times sake.

modern day suicide
Parker Oct 2020
my stomach turns,
as the waves below me crash in swirling spirals.
my hands shake,
as the blue and red capsules turn their devilish eyes onto me.
my heart wheeps,
as the cool silver screws lay on the floor.
my lungs scream,
as the tie lays, unused for the formal dinner you promised.
my feet dance,
as the edge calls closer.
my body longs for it, though my heart tells me no.
and my head tells me yes.
yet, the only thing stopping me are three simple words.



does it hurt.

i stare sometimes
Parker Dec 2020
i stare sometimes.
i take in the undefined beauty of the crowd around me.
i watch the way people gesture, the way their hands move nimbly.
i watch the people run, with every time their foot hits the ground their arms go up.
i watch people put in headphones and the way their body reacts, gently yet so strongly.  
i stare sometimes.
i find the way peoples rings fit on their hands electrifying.
i find the way peoples hands intertwine, so softly yet so intimate.
sometimes i stare,
and its not because im rude.
im just taking in the beauty of the world, and enjoying every second of it.

the universe
Parker Aug 2020
I didn't tell my mom about you,
or pray to god.
I didn't write about you in secret spirals,
or sketch out pictures of you.
I told the stars about you,
about how you shine brighter than they ever could.
I told the sea about you,
how your eyes share its marvelous blue.
I told the earth about you,
how you make me feel like the only person on it.
I told the universe about you,
and it gave me you.

Parker Dec 2024
i got you a present this year,
one i’m sure you won’t receive.

it will sit beneath the tree, wrapped up pretty with your name scribbled in your favorite brand of pen,
waiting.
it will wait until you’re ready.
until you’re able.

maybe it’ll wait until we forget eachother, and it will slowly fade away.

maybe it won’t wait much time at all.

but for now, it sits underneath falling pines,
untouched.

guitars.
Parker Nov 2020
i hear you voice in strums of my guitar.
i can feel you arms wrap around my stomach and your head press into my shoulder blades.
i can sometimes feel your hands overlapping mine, trying to take control while you giggle.
sometimes i hear you whisper forgotten words into my ears.
i love to play but it brings you back.


just come home, ill play for you..

your eyes
Parker Dec 2020
i could stare into those eyes for evermore.
the eyes that hold onto me tightly and shine like the November sun.
they cling to my soul and find a home in mine.
ive never met one with eyes like yours.
i long to get lost in them till the end of my days.
only if you let me darling

deadman walking.
Parker Sep 2020
like a flower that wilts in the sun,
youve become a case of a person.
a hollow shell,
an empty place.
youve become nothing.
youre a pit of despair,
you feel like nothing could ever compare to the pain you feel.
but like all things, you grow.
you bloom in the dancing beams of moonlight,
you radiate in the endless field of dreams.
you may be empty but youre not empty yet.
so let me fill you, with the sparks you send me.
so i can see the love of mine, even if its only in the moonlight.
let yourself glow my love.
Parker Dec 2024
i have this feeling.
a rot, thats deep within my soul.
something that i cannot cut out, or heal away.

it grows around my organs and eats at my heart.
it feeds.
always feeding.

only your voice can stop the ache.
youll come back, wont you?
say you will, please.

Parker Sep 2020
sometimes i stare at the sun,
swallow the mouthwash,
take an extra advil,
cross the street without looking,
take off my seatbeat,
walk alone at night.
but then came you,
and that all stopped.
i finally have something to live for.

Parker Aug 2020
don't let me fade away.
don't let my crimson waters flood out of me.
don't let my lungs take in the forbidden words filled with water.
don't let my heart beat for my mind.
don't let me fade away.
and if I do, don't forget me.
promise?
I fear being forgotten.

Parker Sep 2020

if my name still rings in your ears,
if my guitar strings still snap your fingers,

i wonder if what i once was means anything to you.

with love,

absence.
Parker Aug 2020
your absence still hurts.
even after you dug holes into my heart and tore my ligaments apart.
it still hurts to roll over at night and not see your smiling face besides me.
your absence will forever feel forced and fatal.
but it’s what i need.
even though this absence is killing me.
god i can’t stop thinking about youuuu. this suckssss
