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 Aug 2021
We were doomed from the start
But I love you
I love you still
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 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 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.
Shaylie Jul 2022
I don’t write this poetry
For you
Because it’s cute
I write this
Because I
I am filled with passion
Brimming
Teeming
And the amount of things I
Hold inside myself
Have poured over enough
To make an ocean
For you to swim in
Shaylie Sep 2022
Boys don’t ride on horses
Or speak carefully
Boys break bones
And they
Bellow with rage
Guttural scream
Boys are not gentle
They do not smell
Of cream
Shaylie Feb 2023
You can hold something empty
But it’s still empty
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 Aug 2021
Give me one day of peace
One day where you don’t
Cross my mind
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 Apr 2022
We are
Just flesh and bone
But you
You are the sun on my skin
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 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 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 Feb 5
Maybe she didn’t get her marriage
Maybe I ruined that
She successfully solidified her place in your life
She poured the cement around her feet next to you
She was able to put herself in all the places I wanted to be
And I guess I was okay with that
I had to be
But I missed you
And I missed you
And I missed you
And I will miss you for the rest of our lives
How can I feel that you aren’t happy?
Shaylie Apr 1
I love you
And I miss you
And I love you
They are synonymous
Shaylie Jan 2024
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.
Shaylie Aug 2021
Dillan, I can’t stop thinking about you
I just want to hear from you
Shaylie Jun 2021
“That’s life
Why would
It change now”
- still woozy
Shaylie Jan 2019
Though the setting may change

The background remains the same
Shaylie Aug 2022
I am mourning
Mourning that I won’t lay down
For you anymore
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 Jan 2020
She is the moon, the stars, and the sky
She stops time
And my eyes shine

She is quiet
She tries to disappear
But I see her

I see her
And I want to kiss her
be near her
For even one second
Shaylie May 25
Don’t you know
That I know it’s you everytime
Please talk to me
Shaylie May 2
I wish you’d call
A thousand times I wish you’d call
But instead I’m up at midnight
Making eggs in a basket
Thinking of you
How much I love you
Shaylie Apr 18
Another six months
Another year
I’m almost thirty
And then I’ll be practically forty
Please, I miss you
Shaylie Jul 2023
If you could see how starving I am
You would love me
Shaylie Dec 2022
I love you
I love you
Where ever you are
In your car
In your bed
Kissing your girl goodnight
I love you
And I wish
That it was us
You and me
Me and you
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 Mar 22
Just enough to miss
But never enough to stay
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 Apr 2
I’m begging you to find
The time
To call me
Shaylie Aug 2021
Hear ye
Hear ye
Two sham marriages
Instead of one happy one
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 Apr 6
Intrepid followers
For
The blameless god of love
Giving their hearts for sacrifice
For their chance
To be eaten up
Shaylie Apr 30
If I could dial you now I would
A speed dial situation for sure
Remembering a voice is so strange
Isn’t it
I remember your life and the way you say certain phrases
There’s no one else I’d rather be having a full hearted conversation with
Don’t make me wait until
I’m a raisin the sun
Shaylie Apr 3
I wonder why
Everytime you had a chance
You didn’t run home to me
Shaylie May 6
Hey Dill
I miss you
Shaylie Jan 2022
I waited my whole life
Slamming myself
Into brick walls of passion
Instant heat
Burning me up

And then I met you
I lit a candle in my finger tips
I melt
I drip
For you
I slowly burn
For you

And it’s 100x sweeter
Than the boy who
Made me feel something once
Because you make me feel something
Every day
Shaylie Aug 2021
I can beat you
At your own
Little game
Happy family
Happy life
Who can be happier without the other
Why are we doing this
Come back home
Shaylie Jul 2020
Things would never be the same as they had been
Not yesterday
Not today
Never again

But I think, I would love you forever
And when the wind blows past
I will remember the way you wrapped your arms around me
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 May 2020
His words were warm
Like a dollop of hot butter
Sliding down a stack of pancakes

I hate his stupid smile,
I hate his stupid face.
Shaylie Nov 2018
Wasting your breath

There are some things

That will only change

With age
Shaylie Jan 2020
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 Feb 2019
A thousand other universes
Where your finger tips
Brush my finger tips

I wish I was there staring up at your ceiling
Breathing your air

Buy me one more day
Cant be anywhere other than there

You'd never recognize me now
Shaylie Apr 2022
So I think
I think about you
The sun rises
The sun sets
Before you go
I just want you to know
I’ll always think about you
Shaylie Sep 2021
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 Aug 2021
“You’ve been done
So *****
So many times”

You did me the filthiest
Didn’t you
You absolutely *******
Wrecked me
