Shaylie Dec 2023
I continue talking about you in the past tense
Why do you keep talking about him like he’s dead
They ask me
Because to me he is
I reply
Everyone keeps moving about their tasks
Shaylie Apr 2024
Some things neednt be said
They stand the way ancient trees do
Just like the way
I love you
Shaylie Feb 2019
I wish I had
A little more
Time to choose
Shaylie Nov 2018
Forgive me, I forgot the meaning

Of the word

When every promise I received,

Even the ones wrapped in shiny paper,

Were empty.
Shaylie Jun 2021
Is that you
Calling me from
Unknown numbers

Or am I dreaming
Shaylie Nov 2021
Sometimes
I forget
I forget who I am

What I want
What I like
Shaylie Aug 2024
If I take it day by day
And no one mentions the word longing
I don’t ache for you
Anymore
Shaylie May 2020
I self destruct

Shaylie Aug 2020
Hurt and hurt and hurt
Until you can’t breathe anymore
And then

One day
It dissipates

But sometimes
You never stop
Missing them
Shaylie Dec 2021
I don’t feel like
I have a seat on any bus
There is no slot
For me to fit into
Where do I go?
What do I do?
Shaylie Feb 2024
Do you think of me as much as I
Think of you
Shaylie Nov 2024
I keep your shirt on the back of the couch
It smells like your house
You’d think I’d have kissed you before
I don’t even know what you taste like
But I wish I did
Shaylie Dec 2021
Tired of being used
For parts to fill
Yourself with
Use up until
You feel whole
Taking pieces of me
Taking pieces of me
Empty
Every time you leave me
Shaylie Nov 2024
I wish so badly,
To not know small things about you,
Give me something that makes me dislike you
Shaylie Jul 2020
One day you wake up
And you just are
For a moment
Suspended in your dreams
Shaylie Aug 2022
I am mourning
Mourning that I won’t lay down
For you anymore
Shaylie Mar 2024
I hope everytime you give her a little piece of what you never gave me
You question yourself
You think of me
You think of my pain
I hope you try to justify it but it constantly falls through
How do you sleep at night replacing what we had
Shaylie Dec 2022
Will I ever
See you again?
I whispered in my dream
After death,
And another life
But not until then,
You sighed
Shaylie Mar 2023
I will die
and you will die too
so will the rich man,
the poor man,
the sad man, and
the happy man
everyone dies,
but that is what we have in common,
death is what we have in common,
common man.
Shaylie Jun 2021
One time
I knew real love
It tasted sweet
And free

But it will
Never ever
Be

I will be dust beneath your feet
Before he and I
Meet
Shaylie Nov 2018
He called my name with love
And he touched me with
Nice, soft hands
I crumpled like paper
His gentleness far too heavy for me
I only wanted people
Who would
Wear
Me
Down
Shaylie Jun 2021
All I can
Think
About is you
And how I must see you
Shaylie Aug 2024
Somedays I miss you so much
It feels like there is no one else in this world
To talk to
It’s been almost a year
I still think about you every day
I’ve forced my thoughts to be farther between
Because I know the amount of good
It does me
I wish I could stop putting you in the front
Of this in invisible line
I love you so much
Sometimes I close my eyes and I pretend
If I think it hard enough
You will feel that moment too
Shaylie Mar 2023
I’d rather live
Than die
I’d rather die
Than live
You can’t ask
The egg
How much he enjoyed
Being the chicken
Shaylie Jul 2021
It’s 9 pm
The tide rolls in
The thoughts of you
You and me
Between these sheets
Hands against my hands

I miss the way you smell
I think of the last time
I buried my face in your chest
That’s when you left

I miss the way you taste
I think of the last time
My lips met your lips

Suddenly time seems like a
Long long hallway
Only extending more and more
The more I walk it

I ******* miss you
And I didn’t want to wait
I didn’t want to wait
To see you
To feel you
To taste you

I want to beg you
On my hands
And my knees
Please
Please
Shaylie Jun 2023
I wish I loved you less
And I loved
me
more
I wish I loved myself the way
I loved you
Or I loved anyone else
I wish I could
Do that
Shaylie May 2024
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
Shaylie Jul 2023
I was ready to be done now
And I never wanted to be ready again
Ready to be ready
And not done
I’m tired of them
Putting their hands
And words all over me
I’d rather be alone
They take up my time
To be free
Shaylie Aug 2021
And
If you are reading these
Why don’t you just call me
I miss you
Shaylie May 2022
You say
You’re so much sometimes

And I say to that
Well sometimes,
You are not enough
Shaylie Feb 2024
I feel nothing
I feel so far away
And then I think of your sheets
And your bed
And your skin
And the walls at night
Sliding in out of bed
All next to you
I can smell you

She’s there now
I wonder if sometimes
When her back is turned
Does she look like me
And that’s what you wanted
Shaylie May 2024
I keep trying to talk to you
Reach out to you
How long will it be this time
Another year
Maybe 5
I love you
Shaylie Nov 2018
I remember your cinnamon smelling bed
And your computer desk right in front of it
Blue light illuminated the four white walls around us
I miss you
Shaylie Sep 2021
I’ll always love you
Goodbye
I’ll see you when we’re old
And our kids are grown
Well catch up
And I’ll still love you then
Shaylie Aug 2021
It’s sunday
I still miss you
I keep waiting for it
To go away
Shaylie Jun 2023
Right people
Wrong place
Wrong time
Wrong universe
But I love you
Still
Shaylie Mar 2022
Just another day
Kick back
Wait six more months
And
We will be cool again

That’s usually this goes
Shaylie Aug 2023
I am lonely
But I melt into that
I melt into the sunset
And the silence
Shaylie Apr 2021
Tell me what to say
When there is nothing
Left
To say

I am sick
I wish I had the answers
Actions speak louder
Than any words I could ever
Speak

I am a monster
A monster
A monster
Shaylie Apr 2019
It doesnt matter who I want to be
I dont want to be me.
Shaylie Aug 2021
I still love you
Stupid
Shaylie Feb 2024
Hey
Can I come home now
I miss your bed
Shaylie Nov 2021
And if you aren’t careful
Love will eat you up
Shaylie Aug 2021
I dreamt about you
I looked at you
And said
I don’t care what it takes
I just want to be happy
With you
Shaylie Aug 2021
So it goes
The same song
Repeating
Repeating
Repeating
In my head

I forget it
I forget you
White noise
Shaylie Aug 2021
Dillan, I can’t stop thinking about you
I just want to hear from you
Shaylie Mar 2024
This year will be the hardest one
Because I’m replacing two with you
Shaylie Mar 2019
Today I don't want to open my eyes
But I do
And the world still remains the same as if I never had
Shaylie Aug 2023
It’s five am and I’m thinking about
How I use to be sad if you departed
without giving me kisses
Now we can not even get through
One phone call without
Being at each others
Throats
Shaylie Jan 2024
I am not thinking about you anymore
Atleast that’s what I tell myself
But when I open my eyes in the morning
I can’t help but think about your day
I am not thinking about you anymore
I’m really trying
But I still wake up in the middle of the night, and wonder did everything go your way today?
I am not thinking about you anymore
I am hurting beyond measure
I’ve written this whole poem about you.
