I threw out
The flowers you gave me
Not because
They were fake
But because
We were

By Chloe Elizabeth
Now, I wish I would have kept them.

Don't be afraid of love
Listen to your dreams
Breathe in your happiness
Don't add regret to your memories
But learn from them if you do
Don't run from lust
Love yourself
Sink into someone's arms
Don't be scared of the feeling of never wanting to let go
Open your window when it's warm outside
Go for walks by yourself
Enjoy the bare skies
Love yourself
Take baths
Paint something even if no one will ever see it
Write your heart down in a journal
Listen to a body of water in the middle of the night
Date the jerks
Then break their hearts when you realize you deserve better
Remember that you deserve better
And for god sakes just love yourself

Missing him is like looking out the window and realizing it's been raining for three days straight. Moments pass by so fast that you forget they even existed. The raindrops are so thick that the faces in front of you are blurred and you start to drown in the feeling that you get when you see him. The feeling that you get when she wears his sweater and when the air wreaks of the cologne on his neck. You try to avoid the wind that carries his voice around your ears but sometimes you hear it even when he isn't around. It isn't fair that he got to walk away dry and you're still drenched in the mess he made of you.

You picked me apart
Like a flower
Piece by piece
Until I was an empty vessel
That had nothing more
To give

And I failed
To pick up our fallen
Fragments of feelings
So the only thing left behind
Was still broken

By Chloe Elizabeth
To the boy who lied to me about everything. His name started with an A.
I wrote a much longer version of this poem in my journal in spoken word format and at the end, it says "Well, I think that's it. That's all my feelings on these pieces of paper. You will never see them." But this poem was pulled out of it carefully and basically sums up the entire thing. He will still never see it and that burns my heart just a little.

I often sit and wish
That I would have let myself
Experience more of you
Because you are not my regret
And you are not my pain
You were my fear of losing myself
In someone I loved too much
So I ran

By Chloe Elizabeth
For the boy whose heart I broke one year and nine months ago. His name started with an H.

She blamed the winter winds
For her sadness
But summer sunlight
Couldn't dry her tears

I lost track of you somewhere
A long time ago
And found you
Sitting in a rain puddle
Spilling out your guts
Of hidden secrets and words
That were too afraid
To show their true identity

By Chloe Elizabeth
This is a poem for my best friend. Thank you for trusting me with all your secrets. I promise I will always love you.
