It hit the back of my throat
****** taste in the back of my throat
The message sent from your mom
at 12:27 in the morning
But it didn’t hit
reality didn’t hit me till 10: 23
th moring
The pills I bought for you are   now
in the pitof my stomachne
and now I know how yopu felt      aoll this time
Theb morth we spent apart
I dont care about all the spelling errors I wrote this sobbing and it kind of works

You don't ask twice
Ellie Shelley May 2015
Every marred line
Red paint down
My white arm canvas
Dried blood on my jacket

but you dont ask twice  

Falling down
paint bucket nearly empty
I stumble away
Fresh blood on my jacket

You Wont Ask

So I dont ask
If you mind
me unzipping
my veins
No one even ******* cares
My bestfriend is gone
why should I care
I dont care
bye

I've been trying to become famous
Letting my grades slip
Creating explicit accounts
Let my name be synonymous with success
I want to be in your mouths
I want fame
I want you to Hear the word Aurora
and think of everything I am

Dreams
Ellie Shelley Sep 2014
Last night I sat with you in a dimly lit room
As we talk i went from a school girls crush to love
Sitting in this room
Our chairs come close together
This light slowly brightens
And I finally feel this real true love
For once it is your hand that reaches out
As I take it you pull me close in a warm embrace
So comforting
You tell me secrets
You tell me your flaws
You pour out your heart
And slowly I do the same
Putting my heart on the line as you softly mutter
"I think I'm in love with you"
I  spill out these words back to you
And just as it all fall perfectly into place
I am ripped from you to the other side of the room
You fall hard to the floor unmoving
I try to run to you yet I cannot
As the worst of my panic sets in
An alarm goes off
And I am awake
I look to the clock to see its only four in the morning
And all I want to do is see if your okay
But I don't dare
Instead I take my bottle from under my bed
And drown my emotions in this numbing poision

Coffee Rings
Ellie Shelley Sep 2014
I feel like the coffee ring on your paper
The water spill on your essay
The wine stain on your counter
The things that you wish were gone
But stain
I feel like I stain you
Bringing you down
Your hands try to proclaim your love
You face tries to express it
But I can’t feel it
I feel the hatred I feel like I deserve
The cold of being alone in my mind
I feel like the coffee ring on your paper
So tell me, am I?

Ellie Shelley Jan 2015
He’s standing
He stands so poetic
He stands by a tree
He stands strong
He stands weak
I start falling
I fall to my knees
I fall to the ground
I fall from the weight of my infatuation
I fall thinking of you
I am breaking my back
I break my back
I break my back trying to not think of you
I break my back under the weight of this
I break my back trying to not think of this
I can’t admit this
But I can’t just omit these feelings
You see I have only your name
I have not your feelings
Your emotions
Your fears
Your love
You only know my name
You do not have anything of me
You don’t want me

Fingertips
running over her hips
Your touch on her thigh
Has her screaming silent cries
As your hands go low
And your begging her to show
But she doesn't want to go
All the way
She tries to keep you at bay
But you are persistent
And she tries to be resistant
But your pushing is to hard
And your acting as if she has no heart

So she lets you in

Can?
Ellie Shelley Sep 2014
Can a girl
     Who hates herself
          Love another
               No?
Or do you think so?
     Am I capable of wrapping my arms around you
          And whispering sweet nothings?
               Or maybe I can only do that with my razors
Maybe thats how I show love
     The deeper the cuts
          The deeper the love

and I get sad because someone wrote it
Before I had the idea
and I try to remake is
but beauty gets lost in translation

Poisons
Ellie Shelley Sep 2014
In this pencil, crouch words that have never been spoken
As I lay the lead to this paper all the shame of me wanting you to like me slowly comes out, letting me write about how I have this terrible love that I hate, and it’s all for you.
I have let harm be my drug, picking my poison from yellow little bottles to numb my self of this pain
pain
pain is what I get when I see you but ******* see through me
these words are flowing out of me, this shaming is surfacing and all I wanna do is scratch it off, scratch away the feeling of this love this hate this shame this agony of loving the one who will never love me back or hear how much i love her
She won’t know about the nights I laid awake wishing for her
But then I think about the night I kissed you, I see now how wrong I was, I loved you so much I could bear being so close you so far, and words would have never been able to begin explaining how much I loved you
I had seen your eyes gleam and I had hoped it was a gleam of hope but looking back I can see your eyes we’re filled with disgust
I had loved you, and I still have a yearning in my heart to walk you to class
Kiss you in the halls so everyone knows your mine and I’m yours
I want to be overwhelmingly cliché and scream my love for you from the rooftops
But this shame is bubbling up reminding my that my head is in the clouds and I need to get my feet on the ground
This love is coming up to my mouth and I need to find a way to clamp it
shut so I won’t speak words you’ll never accept
But these are just  words in a pencil, and they float
These are just words
Hiding in a pencil
But they will be spoken

School Girls Crush
Ellie Shelley Sep 2014
I do not know if I love you
Or merely the idea of you
Would it be hypocritical for a girl who does not believe in love
to say this?
I don’t want you to think that this is a promise,
Because I don’t want to break that
I don’t want to rip your heart out
Or for you to stop the shallow beats of mine
When I am around you my knees can’t stop shaking
My hands are searching for something to hold
My heart condition worsens as I see you
The pounding in my chest is nothing to laugh at oh dear it pains me
All I want is to be near you
But do I love you?
Is love even real
Or is this some messed up infatuation that hurts me

Empty Words
Ellie Shelley Oct 2014
My heart
Is beating so fast
Thinking you
Might like me
But I'm just getting my hopes up
Please don't turn out like the last guy
I don't want what people think I am
I'm sick
Of being slammed down
Only to be picked back up
By your beautifully written
*Empty
Words
Ellie Shelley May 2015
I'm not mute, as far as I can tell
And even then I signed the words into your skin
But you signed back with one hand on my throat and the other on my hip
I tried to use my jagged teeth as a fast escape
But that just earned me a no
(Not the no I wanted)
and as I tried to say no you gripped my hair and pushed your "yes" farther down my throat
apparently gaging turns you on
You pushed me on a wall and my hat came off with my dignity
and my sanity
I kept muttering no
and I didn't cry so I started laughing
So you went harder grinding me on you
And I said no
I said no
And I looked over and there was a girl sleeping
I tried to speak louder
But nothing could wake her from inebriated dreams
till someone came in and I ran out of the room
leaving my hat
with my sanity
I cant finish this, and it doesn't sit right in my stomache

String of quotes
Ellie Shelley Nov 2014
I'm not going to fall in love with a boy that has better hair than me
- I have secret conversations with you in my head, they always go in the right direction when I control both sides
- When I look in your eyes I see cloudy stars with bright days in the future, when you look in mine all you can see is you

I dont know why
Ellie Shelley Sep 2014
I don't know why these tears are coming down
I don't know why I feel like I'm about to drown

My heart is doing extra beats and it's going to concave

I'm using all of my self control to not run out of this room and never stop running

And all this sounds utterly cliché
But thats all I am print and bound

I am a cliché drowning in my ocean of tears

Who knows how in the hell this started, but it did and now all I can think
Is run
It's a work in process, tips?

Dont act so sweet when there is a screen between us
Dont tell me Im beautiful when you never look at me
Ive been pouring my heart out to you and all I get is ok
But its not
Its not okay
Im not okay we are not okay
Its not okay that my friends are telling me to leave you
Its not okay that every time I see you my heart breaks a little more
Its not okay that I have to write this out so I can get it all out and not hide this and that behind my curtain
this is kind of me just ranting about stuff sorry

I have a headache
I can’t get out of this pain
You can’t get out of my head

I have a headache
I can’t shake you
I dont know if I want to shake you off

I have a heartache
For once its not my extra heart valves
It’s you, and the infatuation I have of you

I have a heartache
I see you but it seems like you see through me
I touch you but you don’t get the chills I do

My hands are searching
They desire to hold your hands
I need to pull you close to me and feel your warmth

My hands are searching
The want to run through your hair
I need to hold myself by you

My lips are waiting
Pulling me towards you
Waiting for you to grace me

My lips are waiting
Wanting you to nuzzle into my neck
Waiting to press into you

Honesty
Ellie Shelley Sep 2014
I just wanted to be your last
I just wanted to be your one and only
I just wanted to explore your mind

Your a locked wreck but I swear to god I have the key
Your a closed door but I know I can open it
Your a map but I can find that god ****** "x"

I just want to  be the last thing on your mind when you go to bed, and the first thing you think of when you wake up

I want all of your fears, all your weird little quirks
I want to be the key that opens you, and I swear to god  I know I am, but maybe I'm not

I just want to be your one and only
No I don't see us being forever, but I feel myself falling and I don't know how to stop it before it's all I am

I want you to want me
I want you
I don't even want you as much physically as mentally
I just want to know every bit of your mind
And if thats a crime, throw me in a jail

I just wanted to be your last.
Ellie Shelley Nov 2014

Hospital poems 2
Ellie Shelley Sep 2014
You tell me you like me
When you see me falling for him
He says "I love you"
Every time he sees me
And I say it back
Ready to give away my heart
But then
I get a folded note
From you
and it made me cry
emotions so raw they ripped at my skin
And you both grab my hand at every chance you get
Both of your hearts on the line
What do I do
Tell me
What can I do for you
But keep in mind
He loves me too

Getting out of your car
Thighs stuck to the leather seats
and to some pretty girl
Grab bags
grab phone
Grab your bestfriend and hold her tighter than a new mother holds an infant
walk slowly on the asphalt to the apartment doors
have some shirtless guy run out of the door
looking for alcohol
like bees look for pollen
walk up the rusting grate stairs, two at a time
hear the white noise of your friend talking
nod and smile
enter the dimly florescent hallway and hear restless chatter
see the blood stain on the wall
open the door

and thats where I leave you

She caught me smoking
My sticks of cancer
I dropped and stomped one out
To tell her I only smoke recreationally
Only to let smoke drip of my teeth
And seep through my skin

But at least she doesn't know about the THC
Making the breathing space so thin
Or the pills wearing down my hair
I act like I don't care
But its wearing down every fiber
Of my dying body

Vegas Lights In My Eyes
Ellie Shelley Dec 2014
I don’t think theres been a time that I felt more inclined to run to the bathroom crying with arms slit open crying the tears I don’t want you to ever see. I don’t think theres been a time when I was crying this ******* the inside and didn’t know why. I can feel my self filling up with the tears I’ve been bottling up, but now its hurting me because I’m slowly drowning myself alone in my own misery.


They say forcing a smile helps
Repeating a lie over and over again makes it a truth
But for once
I can’t even put on my mask
