A POEM BY BEN PARKER - 30/10/17

​

i attach too easily

guess ive got a heart of velcro

but dont you feel these sparks flying

our connection is electro

but im not counting the volts

or listening to watts

who's wheres and whys

i wanna give you smiles

to make up for your cries

and mend your heart back into shape

for all the throwaway lies

sent your way

i found you on my path

and now i never want to stray

early days but maybe one day

i can call you my "new bae"

but right now its clear to see

we're living at a distance

you're older and grown

this isnt school

it'd take more than just persistence

i showed you your own value

i acted as a mirror

i wanna watch you bloom

like spring flowers

i never wanna see you wither

because believe me

ill regrow you for every leaf

you ever lose

i can bring winter warmth

to lighten summer blues

give you something to look forward to

like an exotic cruise

the greatest things in life

always come in twos

i dont wanna sleep on the situation

they say if you snooze you lose

i think i hit the jackpot

 i found my one in a billion

its safe to say i have a crush

and for you id give a million

hours not pounds

because your time is worth more

than any currency or object

i want your day to be the only subject

on my mind

the way i stare at you

you'd probably think i was blind

but behind those eyes is what i really wanna find

your mind

your universe

i wanna enter into your world

my rock and my sun

but for now im just a Pluto

just a sidepiece

around for fun

safe to say i fell deep

silly me 

i guess im still childish

but id be damned if i didnt express

the reasons im feeling like this 

so much so i stayed up

just to write this

all for a girl who has no idea

shes the cutest and the nicest

ive never been shown so much respect

and been given so much care

i feel blessed but also guilty

i dont want to be a burden

for you to bare

i wonder how she sees me

am i a mountain or a mole hill

in her scenery

is the grass greener in my greenery

does she envision a cleaner me

than the one i see in the mirror

with my flaws and my donwfalls

am i a young man or still a kid?

you could bring out the best in me

you just need to lift the lid

a pandoras box we sit between

the key is in your hands babe

so do you want to be with this teen?
