Not a Poem
Shaylie Nov 2022
I don’t think I’ve ever been this sad about someone leaving before. I try not to think of it. I really do. This morning I was laying on the couch, face pressed against the cushion. I was staring at your TV and all of your things, I just thought about the first day you will be gone. Part of me just wants you to go, because “out of sight, out of mind”, the other part desperately wants you to stay, I keep telling myself it is all wrong. But that is just what I want to hear.
I think about how on that day, this place will be empty, save a few of my things. I will be here and you will be there. Separate. How we will be going from hanging out every day, to hardly seeing each other at all from the way you’ve made things sound, and from how I know people to usually be. I think about how other girls will be laying on your pillows breathing you in, and laughing at your jokes. I think about them sharing moments with you, and learning about your life intimately. I’m sick, and I don’t want to think about it, but I force myself as some sort of numbing agent, if I see it enough in my head, won’t I be numb when it happens? I think about not waking up with you in the morning, or deciding on dinner together, or sitting and playing games until one of us is too tired. I’ve felt like you are the only person in this world I can count on.
I think it’s all just too painful, and I just need to cry when I need to cry. I spent a year of my life with you, and I couldn’t help but fall in love with. Who couldn’t? When my heart hurts like this, I just hold my breath until it’s mostly over.
I am going to miss you so much, I’ve said it a thousand times. It really feels like things will be so empty now, not that I can’t live my life on my own, but it was just different with you.

Today I miss you
Tomorrow I might not think of you again
It’s been on and off lately
Which is much better than always on
I love you
I miss you
I miss the way you were always there
Small moments are the ones I never reveled in enough
Even though I thought I was soaking them up
I find myself staring in the mirror
I hope we meet in another life Bryce
And I hope we get to do it right in that one
The love I have for you is enough to bring me to my knees when I close my eyes

So you say your brain wants to **** you
Get you out of this place you say
But trapped, you must stay
Figure out how to breathe with water in your lungs
And breathe because your neighbor does it without pain
In bed you stay
In pain
Soaking it up
Like the suns rays

I hope it all makes it’s way to you
Some way

I’d say I don’t care about you anymore
But what am I supposed to do
We built this whole life
Together
We made a life
Together

Now I’m building it apart
Stranger through the
Looking glass
And that’s who you are
Why didnt you tell me

It’s my fault
Shaylie Sep 2022
I told myself
I won’t fall in love
Until someone buys me flowers
But then I kissed him
Without so much as even
One single rose
And him?
His eyes wander so far
It’s hard to tell
Which skirt he’s trying to
Slip up
But it’s not yours
And it’s right in front of you
All without even a single
Flower

I am between you
And my passions
I buried them a long time ago
In the backyard of our home

Its getting harder to keep my feet grounded
I might float up and away

I love you
And
As much as I’d like to
Hate you
All I want is the best
For you
I want you to be happy
I want you to know
I will always always
Love you

Thinking I might call you,
But I never did

You know how it feels without me
How can you live with this
Don’t you miss my voice
Don’t you miss my laugh
I miss you
I get so lost in you
Please
Please
Don’t tell me I’ll
Never
Feel like you made me feel
Again

Baby, I'm gone, gone
I am so gone from here.

I'm gonna spread out far to the edges and over,

I'm gonna spill out, just like that milk you always ******* cried over

I'm gonna cover the earth,
And baby I'm gone from here.

Me and my love
We are lifetimes apart
And so we spend lifetimes alone
Until we find each other
Again
In one universe
In one moment

I don’t need him
He don’t need me
And we find each other beneath
Raw sheets
Please answer me
I say
Why would it be that way
He say
But he never calls
The next day

All the decorations on his walls, were hung up by me.
I pushed the tacks in the wall, the ones you look at while you **** him.

When I pulled away from his house, knowing she would be spending time in his bed later, skin to skin, breath to breath. Passion bleeding through.
I just want to stop thinking about you.

Been

You can take her
Take her to see all the things

But emptiness will follow you
Everywhere
Because
You know

Me

I wish I was not the way that I am
I want to go home and forget this place
Existed
And that anyone as great as you is real
I wanted it to be the time in my life
Where I needed someone
And it just isn’t

But tasting your lips
Nothing is sweeter

I miss you
And I miss you and I miss you and I miss youimissyouimissyouimissyou
I miss you so much until my heart gives out at the end of the day
Only to restart each morning when I wake up
Missing you
I never knew when my mother said
Life is unfair
She was talking about how you could love and love and love someone
But they didn’t have to love and love and love you back
So here I am at twelve am
Thinking of ways to tell you I love you
Ways to tell you I hate you
Thinking of writing love letters and giving grandiose notions you never deserved
Thinking of how she must be folded inside your arms
I know you don’t think about it at all
Think about me
That is
I miss you

My thoughts are murderous
Shaylie Aug 2022
You are alone
You will die alone
You are ugly
You are alone
You do not matter
Why are you still here
Why do you keep going
If one person does something kind today
I’ll stay
I’ll stay if someone says anything
Anything kind
You are alone
Alone
You will
Die alone

You know
I’d do anything
Just for you

And I can’t promise
Ease
I can’t promise
Perfection
But I’ll stand next to you
I’ll hold your hand

And I don’t have much
But I’ll give you everything I have

You know,
I’d do anything,
Just
For
You

Have you ever been in love?
It eats you
It consumes your body
Toes to head
Wildfire takes over
And it burns you up
How did you exist without
That’s what you will ask yourself
Have you ever been in love?

And I didn’t
I never talked to him again

And we died without
Even saying goodbye

I can’t possibly understand how it could be anyone other than you
I thought maybe we finally had our chance
Our day beneath the honeysuckle
I miss you
Trying to figure out why you’d stop
Talking to me
I want to finally share that meal
So much time has passed and
I’m almost 30 now
Please call me
Please call me

He had a name in my heart
Shaylie Sep 2020
Its funny how when it's cold outside,

I start to remember burying my face inside of your jacket,

I can small all of the fall and winter leaves,

That were beneath your feet,

While the faint smell of your Marlboros lingered on and on,

I could almost touch your face in the cold sun,

I could almost feel myself being in love,

But the flowers, the trees, and the bees have died and grown again since then

And Dear God
Please, ******* help me
Because it’s just so hard to be sober
When my choices
Cant be made over
Shaylie Apr 2024
If you are reading this
I want you to know
I can’t talk to you anymore
But if you ever find yourself
Sitting down
Sharing a meal
And I cross your mind
It’s probably because
I am thinking of you too
While somewhere around the world
I eat
And I sit

I miss you, I love you, I miss you, I love you
Talking to you is something irreplaceable
My soul lights on fire with simple words
And I’m reminded
I’m never alone with you here in this world
Even when you are silent
Isn’t it a fact that we always find each other
I love you, I miss you

Stop calling me

I am this close
To paying the 36 dollars
To change my number

Over and over and over

I just missed you
I missed you
So much I can’t breathe

I couldn’t find meaning in
Mirror
So I looked for it
In his eyes
A stranger
Doomed when I was
Let down
Because I didn’t find
My worth inside of there

My hopeless shot in the dark
A cry for help
So hard to love
Because I couldn’t love myself

Life was so much more than black and white

It was red yellow grey turquoise manilla

He could love you

And he could *******

But he could still love someone else
