I don't know why
you did it
the way that you did

But it tore a small piece
out of the person I was
when I fell for you

And you will always have it
in the darkness of your bedroom
and the loneliness in your voice
when you realize
that no one else,
no one,
will make you feel like I did

And no one else,
no one,
is me

And you're gonna miss me,
I know it,
so have a nice summer

By Chloe Elizabeth

It's funny
When someone changes you
And all your poems
Don't make you feel the same way anymore

But it's a sigh of relief
Your body feels light
Your heart is pounding
But you are calm
While you read all the old words
And can't feel their emotions

Your bones are empty
And your eyes are heavy
With tears that are only coming from
The deep place inside your body
That you haven't heard from in months
Months

Waiting was painful
Waiting so long for this to happen
But never imagined it would feel
Quite like this
You never dreamed
That you would be so happy

By Chloe Elizabeth

It's sad
Oh so very sad
The way you look at me now

By Chloe Elizabeth

I was broken
I needed fixing
and I was wrong
to think you could
glue me back together

You accepted me
when I couldn't even look at myself
in the mirror
and that feeling rushed through my veins
like heroine

You were another one
of my many secrets,
I kept you behind my back

Eventually, I realized schemes
and lies wouldn't put out my bonfire
because it was only getting bigger

Three words...

Three words was all it took
and I was burning
But I didn't want to drag you down
with me so I ran

Then you walked away
You told me you walked away
because you didn't want me
to see you cry
but the look on your face
was painful enough

I can still see it
in the galaxies
beneath my eyelids

That's the only place you exist anymore

By Chloe Elizabeth

Days go by
and I still feel you
in the walls of my bedroom

I still smell you
in the indent of my pillow
and the cotton of my bed sheets

I still see you
in the cracks of my palms
and the darkness underneath my eyelids

I still love you
in every corner of my heart
and every breath that seeps into my lungs

Days go by
and I still ******* love you
so much

In the insanity we call society
With the whole world

But nowhere to go
And no where to sink in

You were addicted to me like you were to the alcohol running through your veins.

By Chloe Elizabeth

Everything reminded him of her. The pain was like frost bite on the arteries of his heart that beat a little slower ever since that day. He missed the smell of her freshly washed hair in the morning, short and sweet, always tied behind her head. Sometimes, the wind would carry a scent similar to this and it would haunt him the rest of the day. Even hands brought back memories because he could remember every line on her palms like they were his own. “Jenny,” he whispered to himself, “I’m lost.”

By Chloe Elizabeth

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.

By Chloe Elizabeth

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

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