Shaylie Dec 2020
I loved him
I loved him
And I wished so badly
It was felt even in
The fibers in the leaves
Of all the trees
Shaylie Apr 2021
And Dear God
Please, ******* help me
Because it’s just so hard to be sober
When my choices
Cant be made over
Shaylie Dec 2021
Connection
Breeds
Creation

Bees
To
Flowers flaunting
pollen
Shaylie Dec 2018
Heavy is how you sit on my mind

Tearing through every notion

That I ever gave you up

I love you

I love you still
Shaylie Aug 2021
I can feel you
Thinking about me
I assume
This is the only place
You still see
Maybe not
Maybe I’m crazy
Shaylie Dec 2020
What’s it like
To be
Serene
Shaylie Aug 2021
Roses are red
Violets are blue
*******
I love you
I miss you
I hate you
You hate me too
Shaylie Dec 2020
Here you are
Standing in the mirror
Beside yourself
Inbetwix yourself
Don’t listen
Don’t listen to what they say
Shaylie Jun 2021
He made his bed
And he should lie in it
Without me

He can’t be in the middle
Me
Her
Me
Her

Why can I ever ******* be enough?

If he loves you he’d be here
If he loves you he’d of stayed
That is what they all say

I don’t want to be in anyone’s way
I don’t want to stay
Here
There
Anywhere

So I’ll crumple
And crawl underneath your feet
Step on me
Step on me
Shaylie Jul 2021
He’s lying next to her
While dreaming of me
And
My bed is cold
Shaylie Dec 2021
I am tired again
I am weary in my bones
Lay me down here
I will wrap my arms
Around myself
Shaylie Aug 2021
I miss you more
Than
The day before
Shaylie Jul 2022
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
Shaylie Sep 2019
Are you a good person who does bad things?
Or are you a bad person who does good things?

You cant tiptoe the line.
You either are or are not.
But in the same aspect,
You cant always be one thing.

**** humanity.
Shaylie Jul 2021
I just wanted to know
Why
Shaylie Mar 2022
I definitely
Want
To
**** her

That’s what he said
We lie in bed together

And I pretend like it’s ok
Ok that you
Only
Want to
Be inside
Of her
Shaylie Feb 2024
Hey
What are you having for dinner today
How have your days been
How have your weeks been
The months?
I just called to talk to your voicemail
I miss you
Shaylie Aug 2023
Sadness usually consumes me
At some point
It’s like I’ve been running a marathon
Things are getting personal
But I can clear my mind
If I try hard enough
I only get sad
Sometimes
You can’t say that out loud though
People start to worry
It’s days like that I wish
We all just said what’s on our minds
I’m ******* miserable
How about you
Maybe miserable as well
I start thinking
Why aren’t people more honest
Why does honesty terrify them
So much
Shaylie Jul 2024
Rage burns inside me
It’s so easy to spit your own poison back at you
One way or another
It just hurts
Instead I sit here
Fire turns into hot tears
Rushing down my face
Burns ditches in lines
I wonder if karma is real
How do you continue to get away with this
Shaylie Feb 2024
I am the rabbit
You are the carrot
Dangling on a string
Is that all we are doomed to be?
Shaylie Feb 2024
I love him so much
Shaylie Feb 2024
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
Shaylie Apr 2024
Waiting for the day
I look back on my own words
With disdain
Instead of longing
Shaylie Feb 2024
An ache so deep that
There are no more words
You begin to feel like
You’ll never meet anyone again
Constantly comparing everyone
To all of the good in you
Shaylie Mar 2024
Sometimes
Sometimes I miss you so much
That I think I’m not gonna make it
I don’t know how I’m gonna
Get through that day without talking to you
But then I do
And the sun rises
And the sun falls
Somehow I keep doing it all
Shaylie Apr 2021
So you say
I have the moon
Well I simply dont believe
Shaylie Jul 2022
I don’t
Want to
Be close
To you
Anymore
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 Aug 2021
I hope it all makes it’s way to you
Some way
Some how
Shaylie Nov 2018
Press on

Even when you are walking through

A field of razor blades barefoot

You just

Press on, baby

Press the **** on
Shaylie Feb 2023
You can hold something empty
But it’s still empty
Shaylie Feb 2021
I loved you
It took the air out of my lungs
When she looked at you
Looked at you
Like sweet ripe fruit
Juicy for the taking
I loved you
I loved you
I loved you
But it didn’t ******* matter
“I hope it works out, I’m glad you had a good time”
Can I tell you
Lies eat me open
From the inside out

Oh to be waiting around
On another boy
Another boy
Who didn’t see me right there
Shaylie Apr 2019
I wanted to be the falling star,
In someones pocket,
Never to fade away.
Nursery songs
Shaylie Apr 2019
Have you ever
Laid in bed next to
someone you love

And prayed for
Your true love to
Fall out of the sky
Shaylie Aug 2021
So it goes
The same song
Repeating
Repeating
Repeating
In my head

I forget it
I forget you
White noise
Shaylie Oct 2020
I’d be lying if I said I was doing anything
Other than
Trying to forget you
Shaylie Apr 2023
I'd think of the times i'd often have something imperative to say
Not often
And so was it imperative?
imperative to speak?
"sometimes, people just want to know you love them"
it's exhausting keeping up
At this point in life,
I value the people who understand me and
understand my lapses of silence
I have nothing to say
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
Shaylie Aug 2022
I am mourning
Mourning that I won’t lay down
For you anymore
Shaylie Oct 2022
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 Jan 2023
I am not supposed to be here
I am supposed to be with you
So please make it quick
Take me with you
Shaylie Oct 2022
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?
Shaylie May 2023
I know things
I’m not stupid
I know that,
Two plus two is four,
The sky is blue,
I have two feet,
Ten fingers,
Ten toes,
I know that you,
You tell lies,
More than you tell the truth,
I know that about you,
So when you sit here and say,
It’s different this time,
Why would it change,
Something I know.
The sky is not purple.
I do not have fifteen fingers
And two toes
And you,
Hardly tell the truth,
I know that.
Shaylie Sep 2022
I can’t decide if
Everyone was right
About us being crazy
Or if we really
Loved each other
I sometimes remember that first night with you
Things were good for just me and you
Shaylie Sep 2022
If you were my girlfriend
I would have treated you better
That’s what he said
It’s a good thing I’m not
And we just live together
And sleep together
And eat dinner together
Shaylie Oct 2022
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
Shaylie Nov 2022
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?
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 Jan 2023
How dare the day keep going on
How rude
Don’t the sun and the moon
Know you died
Can’t the earth hear me cry
Why is it still spinning
Why does every day still
Go on
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.
