devoted
Parker Dec 2024
i’ll let you drain me of all that i am.
i’ll let you use my skin as an easel.
my blood as the paint.
i’ll let you cut me apart.
use my eyes as sight seers, my lungs as the fresh air your crave.
i’ll let you run me dry,
if that’s what you asked.
if that is not utter devotion,
i’m afraid i have no definition of the word.

lui.
Parker Nov 2020
Je t'adore.

Et je continuerai à t'aimer jusqu'à ce que la terre cesse de tourner et que les étoiles tombent de notre ciel
him.

I love you.

And I will continue to love you until the earth stops spinning and the stars fall from our sky
Parker Dec 2024
and tonight i’ll ache.
for no particular reason or amount of time.
i’ll stare at the tree, clad in the soft yellow glow of christmas lights, and i’ll ache.
i’ll ache for a time i was filled with childish wishes.
for a time i would wake up earlier than dawn to open up colorfully wrapped boxes and bags.
i’ll ache for the christmas spirit of times past.
i’ll ache for me.
for a version so far gone, i can barely remember her face.

you promised me forever,
and all i got was a chapter in your book.

i love you.
Parker Jan 2021
i love you,
more than anything.
you remind me of freshly pressed linen, or of the sunrises that cover october skies.
i love you,
every part of you.
till the end of time.
forever and always.

you.
Parker Aug 2021
you’re beautifully written.
the perfect story made of angelic construction.
you’re the greatest story i’ve ever heard.
god you’re beautifully written.

mama, please
Parker Apr 2021
mama, you know im not built for this world
i cant stand the way people talk
the way they sweat
the way their jaws pop.
mama, you know im not ready for this
yet you push me harder
you laugh at my tears
you push on my buttons
mama, i dont think i can do this
but you keep pushing me
why?

memorized
Parker Jul 2021
i’ve memorized your heartbeat,
i’ve let it’s sickly sweet beat flow through my ears and stick to the inside of my head.
i’ve memorized your hands,
how the creases and curves folds upon the strongest hands i’ve ever held.
i’ve memorized your lips,
the way they slowly curl and settle as you fall asleep each night.
i’ve memorized your taste,
that addicting taste that lingers on my tongue and leaves me begging for more of you.
i’ve memorized you,
and the song that is your life.

you promised me.
Parker Jan 2021
you pinky promised.
you promised to keep my heart protected.
you pinky promised to heal me with you.
but here i lay, on my bestfriends bathroom floor.
my heart in shambles, my head turning in confusing spirals.
you broke your promise bubba..
i’m not your princess anymore..
am i.

my final resting place
Parker Dec 2024
i will not long for a heaven,
or some other mystical place where i will get my final rest.
i’ll wish for a place where i can stay loved.
a place i can stay loving you.

floating around the abyss that is my head

the way you touched me begged me to stay.
but your mouth said otherwise.

.
if you look up the definition of love,
a deep affection for someone or something is the result youll get.
but love is more then that,
its tears
its pain
its fighting
its screaming.
love isnt beautiful
love is a war.

fire
Parker Feb 2021
but my dear i promised i would never let a flame touch you.
so ill tend to the fires, just enough to keep you warm.
because i fear hurting you, and if my fires do
i have failed
253 · Feb 2021
i fall apart
Parker Feb 2021
i fall apart.
into tear soaked pieces on the bathroom floor.
cold and trembling.
i fall apart.
in your arms.
warm and safe.
but either way i fall apart

the sun failed me
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.
248 · Aug 2021
you <3
Parker Aug 2021
through rouge storms
and the darkest of clouds
through mighty waves
and broken wings
your light shines through to me
and makes my float into a dream.

bits and pieces
Parker Jan 2024
i think a part of me will always linger by your side
waiting to hold onto your hand when we cross the street
i’m scared i’ll miss you forever

Parker Oct 2021
i always feared you.
your strong arms, and harsh hands
the way you towered over me and seemed to not care.
im not sure why i was scared,
if im being honest.
but i dove into you, i watched your fear and your anger
your sadness and heart ache.
and i soothed every aching muscle to reveal the most beautiful
guy i have ever known.
i now no longer fear you,
yet i fear what youll become
youre worth more than what you give yourself credit for

a whisper in the breeze
Parker Aug 2024
Something smelled like you today.
The breeze carried your smile and your laugh straight to my sinuses and clogged them in unrequited love and whispered promises spoken in dimly lit rooms.
I had to strain against the weight of your soft kisses and tight hugs that made my knees start to give way.
The warm summer air seemed to taunt me in that moment, knowing the very scent of you could make me weak.
That it could wreck the cartilage that stood fortified in my knees and held me up so highly.
Something smelled like you today,
Or maybe it was just my senses playing a trick on me.
Either way, youre whispered in the breeze. A slowly forgotten memory.
this is kinda ****. sorry

youre my sun on the cloudy days.

youre the beat in my favorite songs.
the birds in the early morning.
youre the beauty in the world.

monochromatic
Parker Nov 2020
since when was the world full of bright brilliant colors?
since when did sunsets cast shades of pink and purple in the sky?
since when did coffee dates involve strands of yellow sunlight shining through frosted windows?
since when did skatepark dates involve soft green grass and ruby red roses?
since when has this world not been monochromatic shades of grey?
because thats all i can see.
help me understand these colors of yours, i would like to experience the beauty.
224 · Feb 2021
soon my love
Parker Feb 2021
the blade sat,
buried in her moon white skin.
rivers ran, gushing their flow down the cracks and imperfections in her arms.
she sat,
the blade buried into her and with a sigh she said
"ill see you soon my love"

to keep you warm within my reach.

a small while
Parker Apr 2021
i wish to live forever
to live in the damp earth  
to live within the hearts of the ones i love
to live within his head.
yet i will only live for a small while,
just for a small while

within the eyes of gods
Parker Dec 2021
maybe one day ill be written in your sky
ill be sung to angels
ill be sculpted by the gods in marble and shined in whiskey
maybe one day ill be held upon the planets
ill be gifted by spirits
ill be blessed by the fire within you
maybe one day ill be your goddess
your flower
your love
maybe one day..
ill once again be sculpted from the love in your eyes

a little poem for you
Parker May 2022
youve held me in the darkest days
kissed the screams off my lips
held my shaking hands
glued the cuts on my skin

youre simply the best.

yellow days seem to turn into black sluggish tears.
the sun seems to fade away into the black oblivion inside of my skull.
the feelings i have manifest into screaming and betrayal.
i have no end, no life.
everything’s dark and there’s no one here to save me.

home
Parker Jan 2022
stopping to stare into the whispers of a breeze,
to stare into the eyes held within the stars,
to see the faces in the trees.

home,
is within the eye of the beholder.
and for me, everything reminds me of you.
so i guess you have become my home
and my second nature

maybe ill watch every single sunset
maybe ill sit and enjoy every sound that rings within my ears
maybe ill inhale the smell of rain every time a drop hits the ground
maybe, just maybe
ill be okay

fine wine
Parker Jan 2021
even if i were to hand you the worlds finest wine, using all of my delicacy to place it in your gentle hands.
your eyes would wear holes through them, causing the nerves to split and shake.
spilling the blood like wine all over your white pressed shirt.
yet even then, youd still love me.
and thats all that matters.

wishing, waiting, watching
Parker Mar 2021
i wish i knew you,
and that toxicly beautiful smile.
i wish i knew your voice,
engraved in the back of his head.
i wish i knew your touch,
the one he longs for.
i wish i knew your smell,
the one he fondly remembers.
i wish i knew you,
and the love you two have.
just a vent im probaby gonna get yelled at for

lovesick.
Parker Jul 2021
i’m flooded in love.
surrounded in promises that have made a blanket around my heart.
brought into a home made of the strongest arms.
i’m flooded in love.
and he taught me how to swim.

its you.
Parker Oct 2020
in another life i once stared into those kind eyes.
in this life i stare into them endlessly.
it's been you since the beginning of time.
and it'll be you till the end of it as well.
Parker Dec 2024
you said you missed me,
that you still loved me and thought about me every day.

you said i was beautiful,
and that you missed the way my eyes lit up.

you said you’d get an apartment,
and have me over every night.

why’d you say these beautiful things,
if all these things
were just lies?
sorry guys i’m crashing out.
i’m literally IN LOVE with this guy and he keeps disappearing on me. he told me he needed time to get his head straight and i totally understand that, and am giving it to him. but i’m starting to think he just didn’t wanna talk to me anymore. maybe im just overthinking it and losing my mind for no reason.
but i dunno.
ty, if you see this, please just tell me you’re okay. we’re okay…

Your absence grows stronger with each passing day.

My heart aches.

alcoholic parents
Parker Dec 2020
the thing about having
an alcoholic parent
is an alcoholic parent
does not exist

simply
an alcoholic
who could not stay sober
long enough to rise their own kids

things you do
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.

our hearts became one
my hand in yours as we fell asleep
a glow emitting from where our bodies touch

a wasted prom dress
Parker Mar 2022
i stared into your eyes and declared my love for you
i felt my soul leap out of my throat
and my heart pound against my rib cage
i said i love you with all the air in my lungs
with all the marrow in my bones
i said it with all of me
and you said it back, with none of you

so now i stare at this navy blue prom dress,
hung up in my closet
and curse to myself
how could you be so stupid.
191 · Dec 2020
would you?
Parker Dec 2020
if the world was caving in and the stars were falling around us,
would you use your dying breath to say you love me.
the way i would mine.
