Silly when I think
Or feel
Like this isn’t
The inevitable end
But I know in my heart
I’ll never hear you again
“Hey dood”
Waiting for you to call
Checking the mail to see if you wrote
Checking here for messages
Why can’t I give you up
Shaylie Mar 2021
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
Shaylie Mar 2020
I didn’t want to be here
I didn’t want to be anywhere

Escaping in my head
Into every pair of eyes
I found
Myself
Lost in beauty
Lost in love

Focus, Focus
I couldn’t focus
Shaylie Mar 2021
Silent moves
Make me
Move beneath me
Hot breath
Flickering like fire
Feel the flames
Devour you whole
And enter your soul
Shaylie Sep 2021
It’s Saturday
And just like yesterday
I’m still thinking of you
Just like two weeks ago
Just like a month ago
Still thinking
Of you
Shaylie Aug 2023
I am lonely
But I melt into that
I melt into the sunset
And the silence
Shaylie Aug 2024
Hey dear
I just came here to say
I still love you
And I don’t know if it’s ever gonna get better
But I’m so glad
You are happy without me
Shaylie Jan 30
I hope you are reading this
In fact I hope you save this
Sometimes I think about kissing you
I think about our bodies pressed against each other
Big hands gripping my thighs
It’s the first night I brought you back to my apartment
We are on the little couch
But it’s more than that
I think about how
Heaven
Met
Earth
In between
Our thighs
Shaylie Dec 2018
I have no words
When you lie
Here I sit
Stupid
You hate me
I get it
I have no words
So I'll sit here while you scream and yell
Drop it, just forget it, it's not even a big deal
I have no more words
I give up on you
I give up on you
Shaylie Dec 2020
Think and think
Drink and drink
So you can’t anymore
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 Mar 30
Life is ok
And then I remember
Here we are on the same earth
Getting older apart from each other
And God,
That’s gotta be a sin somewhere
I wonder if I get on my hands and knees
And pray
Will I get to be near you again
My soul is thirsty for only
Something
You
Can quench
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 Feb 2024
I wonder when you’ll realize
You love me
And you miss me
Probably on my wedding night
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 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 Mar 2020
I want to whisper words
That make you think about me
Before you fall asleep
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 —
