  • Did It Again

    "Did It Again"
    by Roger Parker
     
    I did it again.
    I let you creep back into my thoughts,
    At one point I had buried you so deep -
    Resurrection did not seem possible.
    The feeling of sadness was replaced
    With this calming numbness,
    That not even a blade could pierce.
     
    I didn't hate you
    Nor did I love you by any means.
    I became indifferent towards what you meant:
    Your laughter,
    A symbol of our friendship,
    A friendship that had long ago
    Faded into the depths of my mind.
     
    I put away all the pictures of you
    And the box of mementos I held onto
    But then you worked your way back into my thoughts.
    The numbness -
    Once a calming serenity,
    Replaced with feelings of anger
    For knowing you and the time spent together
     
    And for you being in the right place
    At the wrong time,
    A deadly situation for all surrounded.
    The wounds you left upon me
    Slowly healed themselves,
    To my shock,
    And I'm left with the scars of the memories.

  • Fool

    "Fool"
    written by Roger Parker

    He didn't think he had it - the skill
    To make it out on his own.
    "Things will be how
    They are meant to be,"
    She said, curiously.

    It didn't take a fool to realize,
    The Jester's no longer entertaining.

    He didn't think he had the skills
    To leave a legacy behind,
    Flicking his cigarette to the floor
    He flashed back to her:
    "You're a seductress,"
    He said,
    "Girl, you are bewitching."
    Her resounding sigh,
    "I've played this longer than you."

    It didn't take a fool to realize,
    The Jester's no longer entertaining.
    Retiring at the King's recommendation,
    Those bells no longer sound.

  • Ohio

    "Ohio"
    written by Roger Parker

    Breaking new ground,
    He steps into this persona.

    "I grew up too fast," he said,
    "Go be extraordinary
    Then come back to me," she replied.

    He had built himself up,
    Piece by piece:
    Finding out what it means to be a man
    On foreign soil.

    His father hadn't prepared him
    For this violent thunderstorm approaching,
    Mind shattering with possibilities.

    He left her back in Ohio,
    Left behind his childhood,
    He left her behind in Ohio,
    In Ohio.

  • Lilith

    "Lilith"
    written by Roger Parker

    The sea had rocked me to sleep before you came
    "Return and all shall be right"
    Listening and debating the proposition carefully

     He from soil and I from fire
    From the earth we two, made to lie equal 

    The water has been my warmth
    In these many weeks isolated
    I washed away these sins bequeathed to me
    In the salt that flowed from his tears

     "Leave me be"
    And with that you recoiled to your God

     You think I'm a slut
    The origin of your sin
    But I'm not the origin of your sin
    She comes with the second attempt

     With your absence
    I could not keep their babies alive
    This troubling serpent
    I will survive
    I can survive

  • Expelled

    "Expelled"
    written by Roger Parker

    This paralyzing fear
    To put down my roots,
    Put down my roots here in this home.
    Only to be plucked from security.
    No comfort in this womb
    No there's no comfort in this womb,
    Being expelled at other's desires.
    Are they my hands?
    These intruders in my space,
    Grasping around --
    Now, is this heaven?
    Or could this be hell?
    This light at the end,
    Being expelled,
    Blinding on all accounts.
    I soaked my roots in your bliss
    Only to find you dead
    Upon arrival.
