Untitled
Parker May 2021
sometimes i feel that im no where near good enough
that no matter what i do ill never be enough for you
my body always will be
my wandering hands always will be
but **** my heart i guess
itll never matter
ill never matter
a vent tbh

..
Parker Oct 2020
..
sometimes my heart speaks louder than my mind.
and thats when i make the worst mistakes.
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

angels
Parker Aug 2020
I find myself listening to classical music,
its not as angelic as your voice but it gets the job done.

2:21 pm.
Parker Oct 2020
i find myself longing for your hands tangled with mine again.
why is it always the same time.
Parker Dec 2024
i drank to much coffee today and now my stomach hurts.
while yes, this is a trivial matter that could have been avoided on my behalf,
i couldn’t get enough of the warmth.
of the sweetness and bitterness woven together.

maybe there was another reason for drinking 3 cups of coffee in one sitting.
maybe the warmth reminded me of your arms.
maybe the complexities in flavors reminded me of your lips.

or maybe, i just really wanted coffee.
who knows.
either way, my stomach hurts.
91 · 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
91 · 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.

unrequited
Parker Nov 2024
i’ve loved him for two years.
two years of hopeless pining.  
two years of whispered confessions.  
two years of secret glances and unspoken bonds.
there are times i feel our hearts thump together.
i hear them call eachothers names,
but to no avail.
my heart continuously calls out to you

can you hear it?
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.
91 · Oct 2020
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.

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.
90 · 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.

last night.
Parker Aug 2020
last night I woke up in a druken haze, laying next to someone I hoped to be you.
89 · Dec 2020
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.

seeing things
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.

Parker Dec 2020

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.

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.
88 · Oct 2020
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.

and i hope you realize that before i lose you too.

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.
87 · Dec 2024
a new dawn breaks
Parker Dec 2024
this years curtain call is coming shortly,
and i still wish i could spend the winter months holding your hand.
you know how cold mine can get.
yours are always so warm.
is it wrong to wish i could go back?
86 · 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

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

rotting
Parker Nov 2020
im rotting away in this hell of mine
Parker Dec 2024
i need you to tell me that this wasnt for nothing.
that the sunflowers growing in my front yard grew from the sheer amount of love i poured into them,
rather than the fertilizer i packed into the dirt.
i need you to hold my face in your aching palms and tell me ive changed.
that my eyes shine like honey, and my skin glows in the moonlight.
that the promises i made many years ago have grown flowers in your heart and spread its seeds to the people around me.
i need you to tell me im good.
please tell me im good.
85 · 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.
85 · Dec 2024
sweet dreams
Parker Dec 2024
sometimes i think about the emptiness of my bed,
and imagine you laying there.
breath steady and even, your arm draped around me.
i imagine your shoes by the front door.  
thrown next to mine, probably in a hurry to sit down.
i imagine your glasses next to the kitchen sink
as we do dishes together and laugh about the water splashing up at us.
i imagine your clothes in my hamper, and mine in yours.
i imagine your books mixed into my book shelves, and your dvds laid next to mine.
i imagine a life that may never be,
a life with you still in it.
a beautiful life, filled with the softest of dreams.
84 · Jun 2021
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.
83 · Oct 2020
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.
82 · Oct 2020
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
82 · Dec 2020
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.

Parker Nov 2020
the feeling of hopelessness has riddled my bones.
theyre shaking.
i cant stop.
im hopeless.

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.
80 · Dec 2020
yours.
Parker Dec 2020
i came alive when i first kissed you,
the best me has his arms around you.

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.

forgiven
Parker Sep 2024
i forgive you for what you did,
but i hope you dont forgive yourself.
i hope it follows you around like a shadow,
i hope it makes your stomach sink when you think of me,
i hope it echos in your ears,
i hope your next lover leaves when you tell them of your actions.
but you forgave yourself long before i ever even thought of forgiving you and they do not plague you the way they have plagued me, so maybe,
i dont forgive you.
78 · 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

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.

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
76 · Feb 2021
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.

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

your memories leave me with a beautiful sadness.
a lonely comfort,
a broken promise.

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
