She said she worries
But I’m not worried
I want to breathe her air
And wrap her around me

She is beautiful
The Sun sets in her eyes
And rises with her smile

And God,
I am so lucky to know her
Shaylie Dec 2021
And be thankful you are alive
Because
Without you
They would have never met at all
If it hadn’t been for you
He’d still be getting married
And they would just be coworkers

And in either scenario
You realize
With or without you
He’d have gone on
Life would have gone on
Shaylie Jul 2021
You are lucky.
Lucky I’m willing to crawl back into my safety
Away from you.
Lucky I haven’t told her everything again.
You are lucky.
Shaylie Sep 2021
Nevermind
I take it all back
Shaylie Jul 2022
I keep waiting
Patiently waiting
For him
To be aching
And feigning for me
Waiting for when he decides
He cannot get enough of me

I’ll turn to dust
Before my dreams turn to
Stone
Shaylie Aug 2021
She spelled suppose
As
Sappost
I hope you’re happy with that
Shaylie Oct 2019
I get solace in knowing,
even if you keep pretending my blood
isnt yours,
I am
I am.
Shaylie Apr 2019
In the dark
You only have your soul.
Shaylie Apr 2019
Time still
Changes everything

Even if you choose
To stay still
Shaylie Apr 2019
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
Shaylie Apr 2019
Who are we
But
Grains of eroded rock
Sand
On an even larger rock

No buildings
Out of bone
Though
Shaylie Apr 2019
Here we are
Trying to love each other
The way the people in the
Picture inserts
Looked like
They loved each other

When would we admit it to ourselves
When will you let me be free?
Shaylie Apr 2019
I am trying not to change
In the way rocks remain forever
Only weathered
I am made of flesh, bone, and blood
But I am still finding pieces of myself
Blown away
Shaylie Apr 2019
Small things only mattered now
We take pieces of ourselves for granted
I am telling you
When you lose chunks so big
A quiet night in
With small conversation
Is something special and dear to you
I wish I could give you my eyes
To see what I have seen

But then maybe
You'd just give them back to me
I think that's why most of the time
I would rather be asleep
Small things only mattered now.
Shaylie Jan 2019
Though the setting may change

The background remains the same
Shaylie Nov 2018
Wasting your breath

There are some things

That will only change

With age
Shaylie Nov 2018
Cascade down me,

The way clouds caress,

A mountains rough edges
Shaylie Aug 2021
And you’ll rot
In some
Dead end town
At some
Dead end job
With an okay house
Maybe you’ll have “things”

And I’ll forget you
I’ll forget everything about you
And your
Little life
with your
Little family
I’ll have my own
Big life
There won’t be space for
You.
Shaylie Aug 2021
Go back to the hole
You crawled out of
Thanks for letting me know
He misses me
Shaylie Aug 2021
I stared at my phone today,
Thinking I might call you,
But I never did
I’m too scared
Shaylie Aug 2021
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
Shaylie Aug 2021
“You’ve been done
So *****
So many times”

You did me the filthiest
Didn’t you
You absolutely *******
Wrecked me
Shaylie Aug 2021
And in the end
We will both do
What we need to
To keep our families together  
Never letting our lives
Intertwine again
But oh my soul,
Baby,
Never again will I
Feel so whole
Shaylie Aug 2021
I hope when you wash your hair
Fleeting moments radiate through the air
Your hand up my thigh
A passionate kiss
I hope they never leave your head
I hope you wish and wish
That she were me
And you realize
You let me be
Shaylie Aug 2021
You won’t say it
You won’t let me know
But I know
You are thinking of me too
Shaylie Aug 2021
I’ll never know
The dance
We would have danced
Shaylie Aug 2021
How’s making it work
Going for you
Shaylie Aug 2021
I want to forget April
I want to erase May
June can also go away
I knew it
I knew it Dillan
I knew you’d never ever
Stay
Shaylie Aug 2021
We were doomed from the start
But I love you
I love you still
Shaylie Aug 2021
How do you not feel this way
Anymore
How did you just close the
Door?
Shaylie Aug 2021
Give me one day of peace
One day where you don’t
Cross my mind
Shaylie Aug 2021
I can safely say
If you picked up the phone
And you called me
Today
Tomorrow
Whenever
I would be so ******* weak
Shaylie Jul 2021
Don’t you see
I’m so in
Love with you
Listen,
I can’t live without you
And I wish you were
Near me now
Shaylie Jun 2021
Please,
Come home.
Shaylie Jun 2021
I miss
Being
Home
With you

I miss putting
My hand
On your face

Everything
Feels so wrong

You there
Me here

I don’t want
To know
That you and her
Are there in that space

I wish
I wish
I wish
You wouldn’t stay
Shaylie Feb 2019
Too use to the
Pain
You and everyone else
Has caused me
I cant cry anymore
I cant cry
I feel the hollow spot
Sit
In my chest
Shaylie Nov 2018
You spend so much chasing time

That you are wasting it

By trying to experience it
Shaylie Jun 2021
One day
I’ll be everything to someone

Disappointment
And a shame
I thought that was you

I have enough people
Who want pieces of me
Shaylie Nov 2018
As long as we could
Behave

As long as we could
Not act like monsters;

But we were monsters

All of us.
Shaylie Feb 2019
There has to be more to
Life
Than what I will spend it on
For a paycheck
Shaylie Aug 2022
Most days I sit somewhere
Between
Thinking about tying a rope
Around my ceiling fan
And then
Being greatful for the
Love
I get to experience as
Your mother because
I live this life
But I make sure
You never know the first part
Shaylie Mar 2024
Another day
Another day my phone doesn’t ring at 5:30 on the dot anymore
Another day without your voice at the end of it
Just another day

— The End —
