I think if you just go
Things would be a lot better
For us both
If you just
Forgot about me
Forgot about this place
Not us
Because that
That never was

I say
I will miss you
And every single time
You look away
Check out that picture
You say
But I will miss you
Shaylie Oct 2022
String me along
Like little fine white pearls
Clacking against each other
Each impactful time your
Fingers slide me down the thread

Do you think I’ll be better
Better ever?
I am afraid of death
and dying.
Nothing, is a deep leap to hop into.
Nothing.
I’ve never been fond of heights.
Will I make it to 30?
Do you think I’ll ever be better?
Can I be better ever?
I want to be normal
I’m tired
I could use a rest
I want to be like the rest
I am afraid of death
And dying.
Do you think I will ever get better?

I can hear you
Thinking about me
You know
Please,
Be more silent
I need that from you
Shaylie Oct 2022
You ask me how I’m doing.
Everyone asks how are you doing?
Can you smell death on me?
I skate over this, like an Olympic champion trained since 3.
I don’t answer.
I refuse to submit and say that I am fine anymore.
I am not fine.

When i eat chicken spaghetti I think of you
Or spending long hours on the phone
The worst thing we ever did
Was let everyone else in our world
I loved you
Despite all the things we’ve said
In anger
In pain
We should have stayed dear friends
Maybe the worst thing we ever did
Was try to go past that when we had
Already crossed our own
Finish lines
I wonder if you think of me too
when the hour is lonely
Like a movie, I grab the sheets,
I’m laughing with you, we are holding hands,
You are kissing me
