It pulled over me,
this rush of pure emotion.
Stronger then a roaring fire or a chilling breeze from a hurricane.
The feeling she brings me,
I thank God for my unanswered prayers.
She is this powerful gift.
I am grateful for her.
She found the ***** in my armor
She struck my heart
With furious speed,
And this elegant dance we share
I hope
Is endless...

Work to be done.
kyle Shirley Oct 2017
Some people are not meant to find happiness.
they're not meant to have joy every day of their lives.
Some are meant to be built up with pain and anger, to finally rise up from depression on their own, and seek what truly is their bliss in life.
*I am not one of these people... But I'm working on it.
kyle Shirley Oct 2017
I looked into the eyes of the devil
as he stared back at me.
Smiling at the torture he was devising,
I told him look closer
I have already seen hell,
lived through that darkness,
Slept in the same bed with her.

I look into your eyes
and see the same pain
I've been through.
He stopped,
grin faded
stood up
and said
since the beginning
no amount of physical pain
Prepared me for her...
I welcome loneliness to come sit by me
it's the only thing that has left me yet.

Rain drops on stained glass
kyle Shirley Oct 2017
... And so, the cycle begins a new,
How shallow I feel not here with you.
Lies I tell myself to sleep at night
Toss and turn, you were my only light.
Here I sow with another.
She tries but yet I still feel smothered.
Empty inside it seems to feel
Every day is a battle that I'm trying to heal.
kyle Shirley Sep 2017
Dear depression,
The grip you have on me is tiresome,
I'm ready to break free from these shackles.
You have prayed heavy on my weaknesses and lonely heart.
I'm ready to be happy again.
Too long I have walked aimlessly alone,
too long have I waited for nothing.
My sins are payed, my time is up.
I'm due for a new start.

*Dear depression. Dear Dana. I'm done.
You walked away from me and I stood still hoping to wake up from this dream, the longer I stood the more it came clear my nightmare was reality.

Sunset kiss
White wedding dress
Love at first sight

Frigid mess
Lustful doubt
Fighting can't get it right

Empty bottle
Money *** busted
Sick and trashed
Life has gotten rusted

Poem for her
Love about me
Sick and lonely old
Unhappiness finds me

Dead to me.
kyle Shirley Sep 2017
I saw you,
for the first time since we parted ways.
I saw you with him and I felt at peace.
You deserve him.
He can make you smile and give you that clean slate at happiness that all my broken promises couldn't deliver.
He makes you happy.
I should let go.
I need to finally be at rest myself,
just know I'll always love you,
and never stop.
Everything I am,
everything I have
will always be yours.
My love for you is endless, every night on a blue moon ill light a candle and put it in my window, for if you ever need to find your way home, ill show you the way.

Wolverine and me.
kyle Shirley Sep 2017
Much like the Wolverine,
I am tortured.  
My life flashes to me in my slumber.
My nightmares of you make me wake
and I scream in pain.
Walking the earth seeking unknown justice for my wrong doings.

When I do dream,
and the night terrors escape me
for just a moment;
you are there to comfort me.
Every time it's the same dream,
like it all never happened and you have come back to me,
but I soon realize
it's just the ***** filled coma
and I'll soon be faced with reality.

*I'm closed,
jaded,
and I'll walk through life much like the wolverine,
just a face in a crowd.

Chilling relapse.
kyle Shirley Sep 2017
Due to my Venomous tongue and countless manipulation towards women,
At the end of the night Im
poisoning myself with the bottle.
Struck with pain
sick with guilt,
driven by grief,
hiding all emotion of life.
Death looms over me smiling
Watching me spin my life in disaster.
God looks down and shakes his head in defeat for the vision I've become.

The insanity grows as i repeat the next day.
kyle Shirley Sep 2017
Internally i scream
bleeding at my seams
Loneliness settled in
I cry once it begins
Too stuburn to ask for help
Too much pride for one's self
My emotions are beating inside
"Let us out" they chant as I run and hide.
Comfort in anyone that will talk
Until then I'm filled with raging salt.
No female companion to nurse me
The longer I wait, the more it needs to feed.
I want help from this depression
Too much to ask during this aggression...*

I doubt I'll ever be okay again.
Everyone has left me and I'm destined to walk the earth alone, searching for peace.

~Gods test~
kyle Shirley Aug 2017
She must have been God's perfect gift to me.
Too young and ******* it up.
She was that kind of woman that you meet too early in your life.
testing, if you are willing to give up your illusion of happiness for what is truly bliss.
I failed.
She is this Majestic, esoteric, breeze that enters your life in a blur.*
She would make you learn how to feel and give life meaning,
but can swiftly exit without warning if you choose to ***** it up.
Not a day goes by  i dont think about you dana.

Tap water cold.
kyle Shirley Aug 2017
Growing older without you..
I'm starting to loose what the feeling of love is like.
I've grown colder to people,
and I'm lossing sight of what loving you has been like, and without that I've got nothing.
Long ago falling in love with you was a feeling that kept me going,
now after all these years
I feel like not even you could bring me back,
to find my way to love again.
I've just run cold now.
kyle Shirley Aug 2017
Morose thoughts cloud my mind and judgment seems grim.
I lay in my bed sulking while I drink this gin,
Pedal dances of our shadows block my bleak mind.
I am stuck on fast forward without you, griping onto rewind.
The vulnerable drive in the dark abyss,
The drive is long and silent
Searching for my sunset happiness.
Won't let go

She's my Parthenon
kyle Shirley Aug 2017
My temple for where I warship her.
Her beauty.
My goddess.
Years I have slaved away to build her up to what she is.
Only to stand there as a memory in stone.
Her hips to her lips perfection in the finest term.
Oh how I'm lost without your grace.
Goddess come back to me so I can worship once more.
Dmh
kyle Shirley Aug 2017
It's 3am the world is slient,
there are no birds cherpping
no police sirens or buzzing cars,
it's a peaceful quiet neighborhood....

I hear the rings echoing in my head,
her laugh still plays it's Melody,
my joy fleeting fast.
its all so deafening.
I am restless.
I close my eyes
another man is gripped in her arms.
Sharing those laughs I adore,
that joy I missplaced,
and I'm miserable
in disbelief
I accept my fate
That I deserve this punishment.

Ghost of love.
kyle Shirley Jul 2017
And that's how it starts,
a man in love with himself,
meets this girl who saves him from his ego and in return he saves her
Fade to ******* black...

That **** only happens on screen the real truth is..

Man meets girl,
girl thinks she can change him.
Man sees lust at every corner,
man becomes weak and gives in.
Man looses girl,
man looses every girl he touches.
Falls in love with the idea of loving someone else and how it made him feel.
Man slips into a comma,
drifts off to find her not at his bedside,
not thinking about him like he thinks about her.
So he waits in purgatory,
can't live without her,
but when he wakes he can't have her...
Waits to fade to black.
kyle Shirley Jul 2017
I woke up today
much like everyday.
I looked in the mirror and i saw it.
The pitty, this abyss of self loathing
Cold dead eyes looking at a broken man.
Heavily glazed over by sin and betrayal.

I'm not used to seeing me without you
With out anyone.
Burned every bridge I ever walked across
Lonely hurt love lost blah
kyle Shirley Jul 2017
Empty.
That's what I feel these days.
Not even sad, just empty.
I'm missing you.
Everyday seems like a life time.
I now see what the appeal of cigarettes and alcohol give.
Something to fill this swirling black hole of what used to be love for a girl.
Now it's empty.
I don't even find the company of ladies amusing anymore.
I only want you.
A man crazy about only one girl.

The Snake was you all along
kyle Shirley Jul 2017
Although your fangs are out and the wounds are starting to heal,
your venom still lingers.
I feel poisoned by you,
sick.
You slither and slide your way through life hurting everyone you come close you,
but
I'm starting to feel immune.
Your bite runs deep but i will heal...

Blackend Jewel
kyle Shirley Jul 2017
All the heart break, swirling death, and held back tears create a refined soul.
Once upon a time she loved me.
These emotions of joy and delight fluttered inside me like a kingdom of butterflies.
Her singing swiftly guided this blackened soul, to a fountain of youth, my ears heard a symphony when we was a lone tone.
Love will do that to you.
Blind your senses and make you face the music.

Something deep blue
kyle Shirley Jul 2017
Heavy burdens on my mind
Are is like holding up the ocean floor,
I'm fragile like glass.
Not only am I cracking at the seems,
but I'm starting to leak...
Every person I push away
is one less to seal the tears,
the patches are never a good enough job.
Soon I'll be broken and everything will be layed out for all to see.
I can't contain the pressure
of this cold,
dark,
lonlieness any longer...

Love on the brain
kyle Shirley Jul 2017
Today I killed myself.
Opened up pictures and memories of you.
I locked them away wishing to forget.
But...
Today, I killed myself.
I opened them anyway, thinking I was okay to gaze upon them.
Today I know how strong I am, and it's just less than weak over you.
I'm a wreck,
I weep,
I'm wrapped up in tears.
Today I killed myself,
killed what was left of you and me.
kyle Shirley Jul 2017
Everywhere I look she is still with me.
That's why sleeping is so hard.
Everything I listen to, she is waiting behind every note.
That's why finding joy is so hard.
Every time I walk out that door fear of seeing her corrupts me.
That's why living is so **** hard.
She has consumed my ability to live again by draining all happiness from life.

Head ache in the afternoon
kyle Shirley Jul 2017
Some times it's like I'm a fish out of water
I suffer without you.
You were the air in my lungs, the water I drink the birds chipping in the morning...

Now your the last drop in the bottle, the head ache I can't break in the morning, your the heart attack I lived through making me pale and weak.

Your the rain that never stops, may I ever see the sun again?

Blood lust
kyle Shirley Jun 2017
Despite my best efforts I can't quit you babe.
This tear in my hear is ripping at my soul.
Time has came and past yet I'm still yours.
I only hear the whispers of my memories moaning about you.
Just a child's play thing I was to you,  while you were busy attending to some one else's heart.
Tragic how the irony has consumed our past and Destiny.

Melancholy heart
kyle Shirley Jun 2017
I had a woman who I thought ignored my beast like shell and saw the Prince I was on the inside, as I called her my beauty; *now my meloncoly heart must break all over again longing for the day when she comes back to me.
kyle Shirley Jun 2017
Anytime I try to find meaning in my life my thoughts walk back to you.
My past is a huge Shadow,
Casting over the present,
immobilizing me,
standing still.
It's like walking though fresh deep snow,
slowly moving forward yet can never forget where I came from.
To some this could be a blessing but for me it's a curse,
I'd like to start a new path.
kyle Shirley Jun 2017
These late stages of depression ive been lonely.

I'm now starting to realize that I have hope, but not for me, for you.

I hope you found what you were looking for, while struggling to keep it together with me.
I hope you can be yourself around him, and not this monster you have shown me.

I hope he sees the love and life in your radiant eyes as you look up at him, the eyes haunt me still.
That smile when he makes you laugh will be the backbone of all conversations, because he will be lost staring at you while your deep in a story, and your smile will bring him back.

I hope he sees your power to up lift the ones around you, and the ability to bring ones you love close together.

Most of all, I hope he sees the future with you, the one I've been addicted to for so long. The white dress, the dancing under the blue moon... and I hope he loves your kids with a love that's more than love...

I've been in pain for so long, I can't even remember what happiness feels like.
kyle Shirley Jun 2017
It's the only way I can decompress my thoughts,
Problem is when I unravel them I see you.
All that's left is you.
You were the one I talked to, to untangle my past, my present, you were my future.
When does this self loathing and blaming stop?
I'm better without you that's for sure, you were always a drug to me, and I'm still waiting on the text or call from you to get me high.
I won't be there to pick up the phone. I wont be at your beck and call.
I'm better alone.
I cant trust that the next girl whom catches my eye.
Wouldn't want her going off and pulling a you, but this loneliness won't leave me alone so she will have to do.

Attention whore.
kyle Shirley Jun 2017
I don't want to wait for all these hoes ******* around with these certain type of men getting their own heart broken, getting knocked up and expecting us good men to pick up these broken pieces, shattered self-esteem, trust issues and dealing with your baby daddy because you allowed him to beat you without saying anything because you loved him and it was your "fault". Listen ladies if you'd pick the good man, the one that may have not been the most muscular, or had the perfect tan. The guy that no one looked at instead of the guy all the women flock to and do anything for just so he could look at you, you wouldn't be so ****** in your life right now, but it's ok because us good men are still single, jumping over bridges for girls who wouldn't step over a puddle for us. Now we make the most money and grew into our looks that's when you want us? No. I won't be a step dad at 24. I won't be settling down with a girl whose ****** had the whole football teams **** in it plus the ones 2 towns over in every direction.
We don't mind that you want to be wild and free, but your choices are for life and the one you finally settle down with.

This poem is for you
kyle Shirley Jun 2017
You got me thinking about you
so excited I can't wait to dream about you.
Those deep blue eyes
Make me wanna cry
That phat *** and short hair
Been chasing you for nearly a year
Are time in the sun is coming up soon
I'll sing with you all day and night
We will kiss under the full moon
Oh my, this girl is just right.

Hopeful romantic
kyle Shirley Jun 2017
It took great strength to forget you and leave you behind, you have me that strength which is unbelievable irony.

I break down every day.
I struggle every day.
I see that glimpse of lying hope, every day.

I cry because It was real.
I clench my fists in agony
I'm done trying to feel.

I lose sleep, I can't eat, I die every day inside, just the pieces of you.
My body and mind are trying to fight this infectious disease, the love and idea of you.

Self loathing an cold
kyle Shirley Jun 2017
Ive done it again.
An empty man sticking his **** in anyone willing to give me attention, affection, even a look with a smile.
I run toward any feeling other than hurt and depression.
I'm drowing
I'm struggling
This whole sea of ***** I'm swimming in, feels like the river Styx, so many claw like hands grabbing at me and I've lost all fight to swim to shore.

Regret claws at my insides
kyle Shirley Jun 2017
That one thing you want,
You can't have.
years go by
nothing's changed,
you Breeze through life
on Talent and luck.
your Luck's run out
and karma is cashing in
kyle Shirley Jun 2017
The internal battle I have with myself about you is enough to make anyone go mad, there are days I type in your name to look for you and I scream inside not to press search.

Iv come too far to have it torn down by your happiness with another man, as if I hadn't existed at all. My fingers tremble, my heart aches as tears still stream down my face as I type your name...

Just a bunch of letters on a screen and I'm still an addict. My rehab is the happy memories I hold clutch and dear to what little mind I have left before I go completely mad.
Ive forgiven you almost in an instant, but i beg for forgetfulness to put this torment at ease.
One foot in the grave and my head in the clouds.
kyle Shirley Jun 2017
There's always a constant, nagging urge to check up on you all the time, it never leaves...
like the wolf looking up to the moon knowing it cant have it, so it sits and howls while it aches.
The more I wish it would go away the more I think about you.

wanting to be with someone who doesn't want to be with you,

thinking about someone who doesn't think about you

Craving over something that doesn't exist anymore it's completely and utterly stupid.

I wish loneliness would leave me, but I think it's here to stay, wolf like me.

My Dana Marie, revised.
kyle Shirley May 2017
I was a fool and she was a fool, in this summer living carelessly,
But I loved with a love that was more than love-

With a love that the snake in the grass coveted her and me....

Boats against the current
kyle Shirley May 2017
That girl, my once golden shimmering Mirage, made me sick. To think my solace resided in her is now tarnished with betrayal and the ever-burning flame of hate. A goddess she stood before me, the very essence of her well-being warmes my soul. In a blink of an eye she is wrapped around another. As I sit here cold and lonely passing away every breath shorter and colder

Carpe noctem
kyle Shirley May 2017
When I kissed her, for the very first time, I knew my destiny had changed. For I didn't know it at the time, but I would love those lips, like i love the every tingle in my body when i see her, the warm hugs when she grips me so tight, and the way he hair smells when she does...

It aches with every fiber in my body that she is gone.
kyle Shirley May 2017
As I give this fake smile and happiness on the outside, im screaming with rage on the inside.
Every one I meet isn't you, anyone I'm with, isn't you, and everyday from here on out won't be with you.
I'm sad. I'm depressed. Isn't enough. Heart break isn't enough, it hurts more. More than not breathing, I'm on the cusp of no air but still here. How you die inside is loving them 1st before you, before anything always, and they don't love you back.

To the person who broke my heart,
you don't know this yet but you've tarnished every relationship from here on out.

I'll still be in love with you.
No one could even compete.
It won't be fair to them but it's not fair to me to not let you go...

Much like Forrest and Jenny, gatsby and daisy, or Johnny and June.
I'm a man so love stuck by a woman my world looks like the heavens and earth meet at her feet.
Ive chased and chased much like my fellow romantics waiting till she accepts me for the love i have to give.
A million no's so far, but all it takes is one yes.
Because if there's anything you need, I won't be far away.

Recognition
kyle Shirley May 2017
For every woman crush Wednesday I've given I haven't received one man crush Monday.

For every I love you given, I have not received many I love you back.

For every thank you I've written, I have not got one thank you or your welcome back.

For every time I smile at you when you catch me looking, I have yet to catch you smiling back.

For recognizing how much you mean to me, I have got no recognition back.

I'm in love and it breaks my heart.

I could stand close to you yet we feel far apart.

I have waited for you to text or call.

Not a peep from you, no nothing at all.

How could you ignore me all day?

Iv texted and snapped you lots, not even a hey...

Iv bought this time with you,  didn't matter the price.

Now your out with friends and I'm drinking here alone watching my glass full of...
