2 a.m head rush
kyle Shirley Apr 2017
I look up and my mind creeps along the stars.

A Gentle breeze drifts pass and I'm at peace.

your voice still whispering though my head, singing me fast to sleep.

The nights blanket slowly walks up my body, tucks me in, and I'm sound asleep.

Motion less but a smile, thinking of you never made sleep so precious.

Bleeding thoughts
kyle Shirley Apr 2017
The way I feel about you, love doesn't even come close.
Your my best friend, the one I look forward telling everything to.
Your my light when I get lost in my own head and it seems like a dark twisted tunnel.
You cheer me up on the rainy days and let me know there are plenty of sunny ones to come.
You have let me understand what love is.

I not only look forward to dating you, but I see a future, and I'm not going anywhere.
I look forward to the proposal, the planning all of it up to the wedding.
I look forward to the fights, screaming kids, being parents and growing old with you.

Till' death doesn't apply to us, beautiful your who I want to spend eternity with. Your who I want to carry out every dream, hope, and prayer with.

Your it, your what iv been writing about for two years straight, the hardships, the pain, everything because everyone else just didn't make my cut.
Your who I have lovedone in past life times and many more to come. I'll always find you and fall right back in love again and again....
Writing is easy, just sit down at a type writer, and bleed.

Endlessly hopeful
kyle Shirley Apr 2017
I hope she knows I suffered through alot of heart break.
I hope she knows I cried during the day thinking about it, laying awake at night restless over it.
I hope she knows I gave away my happiness for her.

          She was worth it.

Every heart ache... worth it.
Every late night.... worth it.
Every tear shed.... worth it.
Every lost smile... worth it.

     I earned every moment with her now.

Thoughts are my own
kyle Shirley Mar 2017
Iv come to conclusions,
1. She won't ever want me the same way I want her

2. If that's the case I'm wasting my time.

No out come that iv thought of has yet to bring you closer tof me. No matter what I do.

Iv never been one to give up especially since

Your the reason why I can't wait for tomorrow.

Note to self
kyle Shirley Mar 2017
I'm sorry* you loved the wrong person growing up.
I'm sorry you didn't realize what love was when it was too late.
I'm sorry that your younger self ****** things up for you now.
I'm sorry you couldn't get out of your own way.
I'm sorry for all the wrongs you did in the past and how hard you must be on yourself to correct them.
I'm sorry for all the tears.
I'm sorry for the sleepless nights.
And most of all...
I'm sorry for your insecurities

A respite from death.
kyle Shirley Mar 2017
He made love to her,
Passionate love.
Lust was endless,
Love was infinite and renewable.
All fear, all stress and heart ache left their bodies briefly.
The sweat from their love fell on each other like tear drops.
This kind of passionate love comes from ones soul, a pure and truly beautiful passion....

Joy!
kyle Shirley Mar 2017
He didn't come from money or a loving home...
He didn't have a nice car or a big house...
He didn't even have a job to be proud of...
            But she loved him anyway.

He remembered her favorite things and spent time with her.
He made her laugh and smile with ease.
He let her be wild and goofy bc she was happy.
            This is why she loved him.

He wasn't classicly handsome...
He wasn't too smart or athletic...
He wasn't even that great in the bedroom.
      But she loved the way he treated her.

He wonders where he went wrong so many times.
Thinks about it when she's away...
His old jokes don't work, she has new favorite things, and she's more mature now.

She left him behind much like a old toy when you become too busy with such things.
He waits for her to notice him again..
But with no money, no family, no good looks or nice things... what would she even come back to?

Love.
kyle Shirley Feb 2017
It's honestly like a breeze on a blistering summer day.
You wait for it, you don't know it's there, till it's gone.
You crave for this sensation to work its way back, running around madly trying to recreate this breeze of a feeling, love.
It's untouchable, yet you feel it.
When you hear "I love you" for the first time it sends this frigid shock traveling over your body,
Like a cool breeze on a blistering summer day.

Tombstone shirley
kyle Shirley Feb 2017
I write this poem just for you
With all these feelings what could I do
A tomb of words that stack like that
Surrounding things seep though the cracks
Words hard as brick to build my tower
Piece by piece hour by hour.

Basicly I'm saying I'm making my grave
If I stick around you, there's no way I'll behave.
My words are all I have left to display my affection
Once you listen you come quick with correction

I lay here dying in my tomb
Your lurking silhouette still lingers in my room
Casting your shadow for me to see
Your presence haunts me in my dreams
kyle Shirley Feb 2017
Flew to close to the sky.
Yet again her rejection will never die.

Like the clash, should I stay or should I go?
Her guessing may not be worth it, ya know?

Two weeks and your gone like that,
Two weeks your feeling went splat.

One day is not enough to make a decision,
Nothing left now but division..

Separate ways from here on out.
Feelings rage, makes me shout.

This is where I end things.
kyle Shirley Jan 2017
I would be lonely if not for the moon,
Casting silhouette pictures into my room.
Who thought id have such gloom.
To have ghostly shadows fill my commune.

Love defies limits
kyle Shirley Jan 2017
The sky is not the limit because you will fly too close amd die in the sun.

The sky is not the limit because you will suffocate in space.

The sky is not the limit because you will freeze to death in the outer shell of earth.

But If it were true, those things being possible, was all because of you.

The love I had would warm my body in the sub zero shell.

When I fell for you would have been like falling in space, ever endless yet still star struck.

And much like the sun that destroys everything it touches... my love for you did the same.

I soared too close to the sun and realized such pain...

When rain meets fire.
kyle Shirley Jan 2017
My insecurities are like rain drops in a storm.
Little pieces of of random sharp pains that's together are troublesome, but I endure it for you.

The pain and stress of getting close to you builds up all the reasons why iv never been good enough for anyone before, before you.

I want to show you and tell you all the affection. I have, but I wait. For if I do tell, you will have all the power over me, and for one person to have all that power over someone is dangerous.

Love is an abyss filled with fire.
Ever growing, bright yet destructive.
Hope with equal amounts of loss.

A moth to a flame
kyle Shirley Jan 2017
She's a wild fire.
Can't be stopped.
Free and forever wild.
Bright yet frightening.
Conquers anything she touches.

I was drawn to her like a moth.
You want to tame her
But you take away what you love the most about her if you do..

Islands...
kyle Shirley Jan 2017
Maybe I saw right through those victimized eyes, and saw only what I wanted to see, a future.

I looked atop peaks and down in valleys to find the kind of girl I was searching for, only to find you.

I think we made both the pain of the past fade away,  for a night.

now it's back to our ways on our separate islands, Anyone can Visit, but no one can stay.

I don't bother telling this to your face, rejection blows.

who cares that in one night I bonded with a person's mind and body, not just *** for hire.

Maybe we will just let go before we even held on.

543 days
kyle Shirley Dec 2016
It's been 543 days since you and i.
That measurement of time should be enough to forget how you feel about someone.

This is how I know time is irrelevant when it comes to love.

You were my sun, my whole world revolved around you, and you were my light in the darkest times of my life.

It's been five hundred and forty three days that you would have been the center of my universe.

Tomorrow will be another day without you.
And I'm always gonna love you till the end of my days, and beyond...
kyle Shirley Nov 2016
It kinda feels like nothing after awhile, rejection.
It's much like being a Detroit Lions fan, always starts with a radiant amount of hope, only to end with sure disappointment.
They say, "put your self out there and someone will come along and take all the pain away..."
To them, my responce is "We all have pain, how is anyone gonna make you feel better if they, themselves can't?
It all started with a girl, the feelings and rush of it all, now it's silly to think that there was ever going to be any ending involving one.

Libra
kyle Shirley Sep 2016
Have too many feelings but never anyone or place to put them in.

Sacrifice a day for plans with people who always seem to let you down or bail on you.

Accept the hurt and live in it.

Become over joyed and too hopeful too easy.

Lay awake to wonder and ponder love and life, restless legs never allow me to rest easy.
kyle Shirley Aug 2016
My vague understanding of relationships and women have put my heart in a bind. It seems that my head and my heart can never get on the same page, let alone what my ***** has to think. It's frustrating to find someone and the timing just isn't right, whether it's on your behalf or theirs. The things you could be missing out on or what they could be missing, so you play it safe, so you can do the things that you want to do, be free. In all reality you're missing out on the one true thing that matters, finding each other...
What a shame in lost time spent on false hope, idles, and illusions of love.

Rehab
kyle Shirley Aug 2016
Im a ****** with an addiction and its you.
I was sober 2 months 13 days and 11 hours, till you texted. I thought I could take one little night off and be with you for an hour.  I remember why I quit you in the first place, your everything iv ever wanted.

Im selfless when im with you, there is no king and queen with a happy ever after. There is just you with me as your servant. You know my weakness is my heart, much like achilles with his heel. I must start the process all over again because I havent learned to say no to you yet... If only rehab was made for all drugs and vices because I can't quit you babe.

Cloud nine crown
kyle Shirley Aug 2016
I often get knocked back a few pegs when im on cloud nine,
when I feel so happy it's a crime.
People are homeless hungry and down right dying,
and here I am living, happy, barely trying.
My problems are money issues, being selfish, and lazy. I look to my dad, friends, family outlook is all so hazy.
I used to think I needed a girl to be happy, turns out life without one isn't all that ******.
My hopes and dreams are my to inspire arms wide out closely in my grasp to acquire.

No more anchors to weigh me down, when im done all will recognize my crown.

Fresh new title.
kyle Shirley Aug 2016
I'm looking for that fresh start. I deleted her number the other day, among others. It was the final step in getting over you. I'm proud of myself and the changes iv done.

You never gave me the chance after a whole year. Well I'm glad you moved on and have him by you're side, but iv I must walk this path alone, know that you no longer drag me down.
No this isn't about you L.G.M.

Ways I have become happy.
kyle Shirley Aug 2016
Read more.** Reading has expanded my mind to new heights and opened doors in conversation topics beyond anything you can see on television.
Meditation. has helped me see my goals clearly with distractions of everyday life.
NO FEAR fear has always been a concept of my own mind, nothing on the outside has made me this way, Once I took away small things I was afraid of I could grow out of my shell.
love yourself you are the only there will ever be. Once you realize that you are special, it will be easy to find great minded people like yourself.
kyle Shirley Aug 2016
I know why you tease me with all these beautiful and amazing women. you need to motivate me, You know I will toss away my dreams and imagination, to have love in my life. you know ill resent myself, and the one I fell in love with. ill always chose love because even when I think she will build me up im too lazy to do it. This is why you dangle the forbidden fruit in front of me, so hopefully one day I will build the ladder to get what I want.
kyle Shirley Aug 2016
If I loved you, the day I saw you, in that moment, you were going to be the center of my happiness, would you ignore me? Shut me out for feeling too passionate about a moment? Or could you learn to love me as I do you?

How about If i tell you, I no longer could hold grudges or speak ill, because you have taught me life it too short, and iv lived too long without love to burden myself with such pain.

I dont look at your beauty. when I said I loved you the moment I saw you, it wasn't about seeing beauty, it was about seeing right though you. It was seeing my life with you in 30 seconds flash to 30 years. Ups, downs, fights, children, and learning more about you each and everyday. That look for 30 seconds told me everything I needed to know in a person, trust.

Those bright blue eyes.
kyle Shirley Jul 2016
There are times I often dream about her blue eyes and blonde hair, in the kitchen with her dad as she looks at me with such a pretty smile.

Faded are these memories I hold close. I hope there are days she dreams the same. On the other hand, if it hurts her to think about these things as much as it hurts me..

Id rather spare her pain.

Shes a wildflower.
kyle Shirley Jul 2016
I picked her out of a crowd full of beautiful flowers, but I picked her.

She was perfect for me, till the day I thought I needed more, wanted more.

Id look at other pretty flowers, even picked a few, but none still matched the beauty, and playful pedal dance as my wildflower.

Now that iv set her down she has found another's eyes to take in all her beauty...

This is what you get when you think the flowers are better on the other side of the fence.

Im sorry it's too late to apologize my wildflower, lilly.
Guilt.
kyle Shirley Jul 2016
Im a stupid ******* drunkin mess.
A ******* whom can barly get dressed.


Illusions of love break my soul,
Nothing is left but a lump of coal.

I drink, drank, drunk stumbling around,
These days Im done being a ******* clown.

Humiliation my poetry brings,
She laughs in my face, **** all these random flings.

God shes a stupid ******* marry popins *******, im done rhyming...
**** your feelings
It's all about the cash n grass now
kyle Shirley Jul 2016
When you truly love someone, you find the definition of love...

Love is a abyss, an object with great force, unseen but felt. Weighting deeply on you with such mass, its endless.

When you fall in love, hope that you fall into an abyss, and never stop falling for them.

Love, is a vibrant flame.
kyle Shirley Jul 2016
She walked as if death was at her heels, always looking forward, unstoppable.

When I first met her, it felt like a scene right out of the movies. I was star stuck, had to have her, not as a trophy but as a life partner. To have and to hold.

It wasn't her body, her eyes or lips... It was the way she carried herself, proud of what she has because she worked for it. That radiant glow attracted me like a moth to a flame, in which case I have been Burned...

A love Odyssey
kyle Shirley Jul 2016
Her name screams in the light breeze, flows cold around me, stabing at my nerves as I drown out the noise.

I still feel her. her pain, my pain, as it echos through my head, send shivers and heart ache racing down and up my body.

It never leaves, just grows more tolerable as time passes. New women come and yet I still feel alone.

Maybe this is my Odyssey, a soul breaking tale of star stuck lover chasing an elusive abyss of what we call "love at first sight".
kyle Shirley Jul 2016
I guess I havent found what women want yet, because its certainly not..

Being there for them.

Telling them how pretty or beautiful they look.

Caring for them.

Go out of your way to do things for them.

Enjoy talking to them about anything.

....and above all, it's not being nice at all...

I think she is perfect, because in my mind it says so, it says follow her because she will take you places. She will make your wildest dreams come true and experience life, so go, follow her till you cant no longer.

But, if she wont let me do these things and follow she will be lost in this abyss.

Alas... Iv pushed too far.
kyle Shirley Jul 2016
**** I wish I could get you outta my head. Then again its nice to have someone new in there for once.
Im just tired of games, or maybe im too persistent...
I pushed too hard and drive her away.
Im sorry I get crazy about the things that I want,
it's rare that I want something this bad that I gotta have it.
Have you.
Enjoy your company,
See you
And have you see what happiness I can bring you.

Over paid bar tab
kyle Shirley Jul 2016
I dont wanna be 30 and still be tryin to "hang" at the bar. I wanna be at home with my family.

I want to come home from a rough day at work and see my beautiful wife look at me with a sigh of relief because she generally missed me not using me as a relief from the kids.

I want the best part of my day, to be waking up to her smile and wish me a good morning, and seeing her at the end of a hard work day assuring me everything will be ok.

I want a romance with love and passion not a one night fling
kyle Shirley Jun 2016
When he dies, so will joy.
So will pain
So will any sort of feeling other then bitterness.

He's my life, the one person I love more then myself.

He is life, love and joy everyday to me.
When he passes so will I.

I will be a walking zombie. Free from any emotion, any life.

One thing I'll say to him when he passes is, "I sure will miss you dad, I love you more then air".

Mo time, Mo potential.
kyle Shirley Jun 2016
Understand that she hurts too.
That she did it for the both of you not just to be selfish.
She just hides her pain better then you can observe.

Understand that you still have a chance
   but dont push.
Give her time
Let her heal
Her wounds are still fresh.

If she could see the potential
the potential you see in her,
she's already yours.
Go get'em tiger.
kyle Shirley Jun 2016
What do you do when your trapped in your head?
We run and run but just get more lost instead.

Gods voice gets misconstrued in translation.
Im saving my love life, from instant annihilation.

I hope too much for pitty gratification,
I ask for love in all the wrong places, I hate when I get into these situations.

When karma brings ringing ears and drama.
I often look up helpful quotes from the great Dalai Lama.

Im bored, hurt and ***** for new friends.
I wish I wasnt so stubborn or id make amends....

The dark knight
kyle Shirley Jun 2016
He arrives in a tattered torn wardrobe
Scraped, scared, and beaten.

Still standing, looking death in the eye.

He does it for love.

Swaying side to side like a pendulum, with his head held high.

Death with his blank stare stands motionless at the man in front of him.

The dark knight rises out of the rings of hell to save his dear beloved.

after the dance with the pale raider

The dark knight's beloved see's a new knight off in the distance, radiant and shiny without a scratch on him.

As the dark knight falls to his knees after countless battles to save his true love, he looks up to find her in the arms of another.

He knows Love lost is better then none, but he is far too tired to care much longer.

Broken physically, and emotionally he lets his beloved go, stands up with his head held high and walks into the distance at a shambling speed right pass the two new found lovers.

One day he will meet a love that will go to hell and back for him much like he did for his last love.

**Until then, the dark knight he will remain
kyle Shirley Jun 2016
Like a broken dish, I long to be whole again, although iv been put back together, I'll never feel the same.
Much like a dish with a crack or chip in it I am still functional, but to others eyes im past over with one glance second to something brand new. I feel like iv been tossed aside, given to a second hand store, waiting for the one person to be drawn to my cracks, dings and chips and appreciate my beauty, until then ill wait here patiently.
kyle Shirley Jun 2016
I am a fool, so foolish, so trapped in love.
What is love? Tolerating someone whose good looking more then anyone else?

Im I'm trapped.
Trapped in a game with myself, losing and winning it makes no sense.

A fool to believe she was reading this whole time, to think she would come back, to think that maybe even if it was deep down inside she thought about me once in awhile.

Foolish self hatred and melancholy reactions to every scenario. Trapped in a hopeful lustful tasteless romantic comedy about love. A tragedy about star crossed lovers that doesn't end in a happy ending. She gets him and you get a 1st class seat to watch your love live life with someone else.

Hands shaking, trembling on my screen. Thoughts sporadic jumping to emotions left and right. heart stressful heavy and pumping fast. This is what love is when its gone bad, jealousy.
kyle Shirley Jun 2016
We both were hurting.
We both made mistakes out of anger to get the others attention.
We both fell apart.

Im happy most days now, although you still are in my head every waking minute and every unconscious second.

You were confident and I had to have it.
You are enjoyable just to be around.
Im starting to want you in my life just a little bit then not at all.

I miss you and me, us.
kyle Shirley Jun 2016
The feeling I get looking at the moon on a quite night, reminds me of you.
Something about star gazing and hoping to see a shooting star to change it all.

Feel the gentle wind kiss my face like you would in the morning.

The sparkling night sky light up with all the vibrant stars remind me of the looks you would give with those innocent eyes.

Sitting with you in our spot on top of the world as if death was in our control, our finger tips.

Many times I think of going back there in hopes to see you, I stay away of course.

Looking to the sky for answers,
Vast and ever growing, constantly changing around us with out us ever noticing, too busy looking down at our phones or around us trying to bump into the next ****, rush, or release to escape our ignorance.
Here it is always watching, innocent and waiting to have the attention it deserves such as I seek attention from you.
Ill just take my time on my ride.

My last entry for you.
kyle Shirley Jun 2016
I hope he is not like me, that he understands how much you are.
The gravity you have on a relationship is so amazing, maybe because it reflects on the person you are.
He better make you happy, not laugh, or have good days, but if happiness was a currency he would make you wealthy.

He better never, miss treat you, because I'll have something to say if I ever find out. I hope he understands the love and caring you bring to the table, and it's not something to take for granted. I hope he knows that your smile takes away bad days, the way your so positive helps with the stressful days.

I hope most of all that he knows your a beautiful girl with insecurities and he has to be patient with you, your body will never live up to your expectations and thats ok, your an unstoppable force that will never stop doing the right thing, geting better for your self, and showing the one you chose to love, what love actually feels like.

So to you my friend, although the girl you have around your arm is the love of my life, shes happy with you. It's taken me along time to come to terms with that, take care of her shes a broken dish, but shes put back together with melted gold. Which means, although at one time she was perfect and brand new, her mistakes have made her way more attractive to the right person who can take her flaws and all.
I saw you today with him, laughing uncontrollably like you did with me, before  mistakes and **** ups, so I know its real. I hope you two will be happy together thats all I ask.

Hello deep thoughts
kyle Shirley Jun 2016
Circling through this cavity I call a cranium
Cycling this radioactive water like uranium.

Splash a bit of color on this canvas called life.
Watch it jump out at you like bumps in the night.

Rattling fragment sentences with no complete thoughts.
Franticly thinking stupid, stuttering, ramblings, till I see dots.

Visions come quickly to my sanity bouncing back from reality.

Grasping onto my love for this one girl, is driving my life down in this porcelain swirl.

Sit back, relax, and drink this karma.

Her lips were so bitter sweet, dana could have made my heart skip a beat.

Fall asleep eyes, all night you have fought,
Keep your hostel mind at ease, hello deep thoughts....

God I miss her soo much, my heart bleeds for her.
I know you hear me when I call her name, you tune me out because your tired of hearing me cry, plead, beg, and moan for her to come back. I miss her, I wish you would just listen when I say, I'll do anything to get her back. But I know god, you will just shut your ears tune me out, or turn away, when I call her name...
