when i feel the earth caving in i write.
i write about the earthy smell,
the way the roots twist and tangle,
i write about the way the rain falls horizontally.
i write about the way mother nature weeps,
the way her beautifully broken tears fall in puddles all around.
i write about the sky, and the clouds. the stars even.
i write about nature cause its all i know.
and i know nature will never change its earthy glow.
Parker Nov 2020
this is the end.
but dont be scared my love,
i promised to love you till the end of time.
Parker Dec 2024
i’ve taken up journaling.
spilling my feelings between thin lines and smudged ink.
although, my words are not articulate enough.
i don’t describe my feelings in a way that is poetic or neat, it is only human.
who am i preforming for?
if only my soul is to read these pages,
why must i put on an act?
why must my words of melancholy, rage, and hopefulness be reworked.
a beautiful home, without a foundation.
i’ve been writing a lot and no matter what i do i can’t stop telling myself that my journal entries could be better. i go back and fix them, reword them. its strange.
Parker Aug 2020
these are the days were the voices grow louder than my own thoughts
were the feeling of postmortem flutters through my head like a butterfly,
allowing my childhood thoughts to chase after it, with hope and light in their eyes
and all I can do is watch the light fade and the memories dissipate into thin air.
allowing myself to fall deeper and deeper into the thought

of postmortem.
Parker Sep 2020
as i laid there, my whole body shaking
struggling to breath
to talk
to hold my dinner down
you held me to your chest and sang.
and in that moment i realized
i fell even more in love with you
than the day i became,
the one you call your own
god i would do anything to be held like that again
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
Parker Dec 2024
it’s been 7 days, since i last heard your voice.

a tribute to us, i suppose.

the 7th of August, the day we fell in love.

the 7th of December, the day you came back.

7 days ago, the day you left again.

i’m starting to think it was written in the stars for us to only have a fleeting number of weeks together.
before one of us was bound to leave.

7 days in, will i ever hear your voice again?
this ******* ***** you said you’d keep in contact with me.
Parker Dec 2024
deep within the ocean, only secrets lie.
the marine life will hear them,
whispers carried in the currant.

a lonely world, that must be.
to only live within secrets.
small promises whispered beneath moonlit sands,
hands clasped in the darkness.
kisses shared beneath stars.

secrets that travel beneath sea level.
infecting the waters with unfulfilled words and pleas.
a whole world of darkness,
deep in the depths.

where our secret still lies.
i wonder if you remember the promises you made to me and the promises i made back.

i miss you, you know. but you need time, and i understand that. come home when youre ready
Parker May 2020
The primary colors artists live to see through swollen, sleep deprived eyes searching for a way to find money
Primary colors based in green and yellow branching from black minds and cracked souls
Blue and red veins pop out of purple and blue speckled arms
Hands worn from countless brushes and ripping canvass
Feelings splattered in red and orange across broken faces and half torn smiles
But we’re okay
Its just the painters promise.
Parker Apr 2021
this place will always reside.
this place of love shown in
scrolls down the beach,
feral cats on my brothers street,
hugs when we first meet,
tear stains on my sheets.
this place will always be here,
just come back home and we can nurture it together
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 May 2021
and yet again,
my tears have become a sea
Parker Apr 2021
the sun failed to shine that day.
the ruby red roses failed to bloom
the sun failed to cast dancing shadows upon the streets
the clouds deteriorated into nothingness.
everything changed the day you left me.
and the sun still fails to shine upon my tear stricken face
abandoning the lit up the memories stored away
of simple me.
Parker Oct 2020
i find myself caring more about life now.
and thats because of you.
i finally have a reason to stay.
i promised forever :)
Parker Dec 2024
i drove down this road today
a road that’s tainted with your smile
your laugh
your eyes.
i drove until my eyes were blurry
and my lungs were aching.
even the trees sing your name,
throwing it around on a winter breeze.
you’re everything.
you’re everywhere.
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 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.
Parker Sep 2024
i tend to get upset when people misunderstand me,
and when they cant truly read me as a human being.
but then i remember i made myself this way.
i built these walls up around my soul brick by brick.
i pulled the veil over my heart to make everyone turn away.
i am my own worst enemy
Parker Jan 2021
you make every star explode in prefect unison.
you make the sun dull.
the rivers dry out.
the earth turn slower,
and time run wild.
you make the world seem imaginary, and its beautiful.
Parker Dec 2020
i fall to my knees upon your thorns,
and you still dont want me.

not even after i picked out every spike with blood ridden fingertips.
how selfless of me..
to think youll want me
Parker Aug 2020
I've lived thousands of lives
walked thousands of places
talked to thousands of people
loved thousands with all my heart.
yet if I could do it all again,
I would chose to love you, even if its just for a second.
Parker Dec 2020
even though our world fell apart,
i can still look into your eyes and call them home..
Parker Jan 2021
till the days i dont have to feel sad songs in the pit of my stomach.
till the days i can look outside and see the world as something other than withered.
till the days i can breath without the wheeze.
i will continue to tell you im okay,
cause thats all im allowed to be.
Parker Aug 2020
the sky will one day lose its blue
the stars will one day fail to shine
the fireflies that litter the summer night skies will one day lose their fire
the sun will fail to burn
the earth will fail to turn
the moon will fail to reflect the suns dying glow
but I will love you, even after the sky falls
Parker Jan 2023
i hope that the last hug you gave me
can continue to keep me warm for all these cold winter months to come
i fear, if not
i will freeze
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 Jan 2021
id let my life filter through your fingertips, leaving remnants of me on your palms.
ill kiss you the most beautiful of ways, letting our lips slowly touch and our tongues entangle gently.
ill hold your hands as if i was bonding my sweat with yours.
ill break you in the most angelic ways, making everything that was once stunning remind you of me.
and youll come crawling back to the storm that is my heart.
Parker Nov 2021
oh my love,
i will bring you to the most beautiful of places and kiss you desperately so everything once beautiful will remind you of me.
i will adore you so tenderly itll feel as if youll never be loved again.
i will make you crawl back to me,
and the storm that is my heart
i was told to write about power
Parker Oct 2021
i will always have a piece of you.
a piece that comes running back.
i will always have a way to make you crave my lips melting with yours.
to make you long to be tangled up with me in the middle of the night.
to make you need me.
every night
until you some how forget me
which you wont.
so go ahead, run on to the next one. and the next one. and the next one.
but i will always be here,
and you will always come back to me.
Parker Sep 2020
are you fighting for her or fighting for me
when you think of those eyes, whose do you see?
when you think of that voice, whose is the perfect key?
if you saw us both, would you run to me?
theres two sides to this battle,
and sadly i cant see,
where in the world,
you would choose me.
i love you more than anything, but this is really hard
ugh
Parker Jan 2023
ugh
ive never been one to feel
but when your arms wrapped around me i saw the whole universe in my eyes
i saw the stars collide
i saw the oceans currents fold into one another
i saw the planets orbit
i saw the world in its pure and most beautiful form
thank you
ugh
Parker Nov 2020
ugh
my heart has sunk to the bottom of the pit, at the base of my stomach.

i had just pulled it out and it got punted back in.

i'm screaming on the inside and you cant hear,

but i'm glad you're happy and have her my dear.
ick this is bad
Parker Apr 2022
my messages shine back bright green
depicting that you have moved on
while i am sadly chained to the thought of you on my skin
Parker Aug 2020
I get it.
the way red rivers flow
the way revines scar across your skin
the way your heart shatters and slashes your lungs
the way you get pushed last on the list
the way your smile fades when you see them
ive been there, I promise.
I understand your pain, your emptiness, your lack of hope
I understand you, and you're not alone.
you're never alone
I'm always here
you're okay angel
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 Dec 2024
i hate this feeling.

the hole in my chest, pulsating and throbbing at the thought of you.
a broken promise, something reformed and remade every time we speak.

unrequited love. i know what this is.
i hate it more than i can physically describe.
i hate that you’ve done this to me again.
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.
Parker Jul 2021
i long to feel what the people feel.
i want to feel the love,
the joy,
the excitement.
i want to feel the flood of emotions running through everyone’s veins.
everything but the pain,
for i already feel pain.
where did i go wrong
Parker Dec 2020
through all the tears and superstitions all i can tell myself is

"he'll never hurt me"
and i know its true
Parker Aug 2021
i’m not sure who you love
who you give your light to
who your eyes shine for
but i know it’s not me
Parker Nov 2020
you were my light at the end of a hallway.
but you were blown out.
leaving me stumbling through the dark
Parker Feb 2021
you already know my words before i speak.
you already know my heart feels weak without you.
you already know me.
just by looking me in the eye.
and it’s beautiful
Parker May 2021
and to think i would never break my own heart.
Parker Dec 2020
i wish i coped with my anxiety in other ways.
Parker Jan 2021
i feel like im drifting
through the clouds searching for you.
for the heart you laid in you open palm
for the bright eyed smile.
searching, prodding, scratching.
looking.
for the person i so easily fell in love with
Parker Sep 2021
and you left,
after endless promises of staying.
that yet again, you broke.
but its okay, because when you get tired of the next person ill be here for you to love again :')
Parker Jan 2021
i’ll never know what’s going on in the back of your head.
i’ll never be able to look into you and realize what you’re thinking.
sometimes i wonder if when you look at me you imagine another.
i wonder if you’re waiting for me to give up so you can run back.
i hate that fact that i wonder.
that i doubt.
but sometimes that’s all i can do..
Parker Mar 2021
now days whiskey has seemed to be my holy water.
leaving my lips slurred across your body.
my fingers trailing every self inflicted etch in your pillow skin.
my need for you coursing through my veins and digging into my bones.
my body longs for you, needs you.
i want to breath against your skin, feeling the goosebumps arise on your back.
i need you.
this is a draft and ***
Parker Apr 2021
till death do us part.





i guess it wasn’t  death that could undo us.
Parker Sep 2021
i will never love one the way i loved you.
