These moments in my life
Have taught me about love, friendship
And giving everything you have to someone
For them to lose it all along the way

I am just so petrified of going through the same thing again that it turns my stomach and chills my bones
Not a poem but as real as it gets

What a beautiful gift to have the ability to be happy in the hardest of times
Chloe Elizabeth Feb 2016
They asked me what happened. They asked me what went wrong. For a long time I wondered the exact same thing. Where did everything go so wrong? Lots of things went wrong in the passing time of our breaking love. But the truth? The very painful truth to our final collapse is this: I could no longer stand by and watch him slowly **** himself while we both pretended that nothing was wrong. Every morning that we woke up, I woke up beside someone who was wishing that they didn't, and it ripped my heart out of my chest and threw it onto the floor while the sun streamed through the windows. Watching him be unhappy was the hardest thing I ever had to do because into my eyes he could admit he wanted to die, and still walk away and refuse to do anything about it. Some people may disagree with my choice to leave him. He certainly did. Abandonment is what he called it. However, I put my everything into trying to mend his broken heart, while in the process I was ruining mine. I would not let us both be broken. God, did I ever love him so much that it almost killed me. You can say that I did a lot of things, but abandoning was not one of those things. I couldn't wake up one more morning holding my breath hoping that he was still breathing.

I could sit here all night and listen to the thunder, watch the lightning and run my fingers through the raindrops on my windowsill; trying to think of the perfect way to put into words how a thunderstorm makes my body tired and my mind feel safe but the truth is, I just love thunderstorms so ******* much. That is how I feel.

After all this time of chasing his tide, he comes back when I'm no longer by the water

too late

Day after day of running away,
My mind keeps coming back to him
I guess time does not heal everything
Unless time can bring him back to me

He asked me if my heart is tired
I told him it is
But those who are tired eventually wake
My tired heart will be just fine

A part of me is hoping
that you don't show up tomorrow
so I can finally be done
and let go of you,
let go of us.
But I am also sincerely,
genuinely wishing that you do
because I don't want us to die
and I don't want to let you slip from my hands
that always held yours.

By Chloe Elizabeth
he didn't show up by the way

When someone dies, some lives are changed forever and some will go on like nothing happened. I just don't understand why the world doesn't stop when a life does.

Rest In Peace to the beautiful boy, the sweet boy who walked the halls of my school, you were too young
A boy at my school died in the hospital tonight in critical condition after being hit by a car yesterday. His name was Trevor, he was in grade 11 and he is the second young boy to pass away in the span of three weeks. This is an enormous tragedy that is so hard to accept and understand. This piece of writing is for him.

If leaving is what you truly want,
then I will hold the door open for you
even if it means falling down the back of it when you leave
and never seeing you walk through it ever again
and I just hope that when you're free,
you will love someone again
even if it's not me
and that they will love you so much harder
because when someone says "I love you more"
they mean it.
Trust me

It's so unfortunate
who you turned out
to be

Sometimes, you're going to blame yourself. You're going to get angry at yourself and upset at "what you have done" because it's "your fault." People go after things that they want, often overlooking what they need, leaving them set up for a failure that they will take the blame for when it is no one's fault. It's okay do go after the one you love because you want them. Life is too short to walk away from rarities. But, when you're sitting on your bed and they're gone because the feelings you felt before simply vanished, it's okay. Don't hate yourself for something that you can't control. Cry because it hurts and cry because you have every right to be upset, but remember that people who love each other are not always meant to be together and again, it's okay. They will live and you will live and everyone will love again because I do not believe in a person's soul mate. I believe that every person can fall in love with countless amounts of different people and there is a lot of beauty in that; in the amount of love we are capable of storing and at times, losing, but still having enough left over to love someone else just the same, if not more.

Just what I was thinking about at 9:40 p.m after a conversation I had with my best friend last night

I can't keep dreaming about you
and pretending it's real

The day you said I was yours forever,
my jaw dropped

The day you changed your mind,
it was my whole body

I looked at him
and saw the eyes of a familiar stranger

His voice was deja vu
for my brain's amnesia

The smell of last September
lingered from the collar of his shirt

And I had never felt
more at home
sitting in his car
in my driveway

I blinked for a moment
And in that moment he was gone
Searching for what he couldn't find in me
I hope he found what he was looking for
Where he went I'll never know
I hope that I can let him go

"I'm falling in love with you by the way."
A sentence I will never, ever forget
Chloe Elizabeth Jul 2014
They say
don't rely on someone's love
to make you feel whole

But maybe
we do need someone's love
to make us whole

Ever thought about that?

He was dropping glass
in front of me
and I kept stepping
on the shattered fragments
but there was nothing I could do,
I had to keep following him

But my name is not Alice
and this is not how I pictured
Wonderland

I never woke up
from the nightmare
that kept crawling into my pillow

Wonderland was a dark hallway of *******
and I just stood there waiting
for the lights to turn on
while he was holding down the light switch

After laying awake for endless nights,
with the shattered pieces of my heart
leaking into my veins
and carving away at the life
I used to share with you,
I realized that you are not one
worth suffering for

By Chloe Elizabeth
Find the ones who are.
You
Chloe Elizabeth Jul 2014
You
I found comfort in the way you looked at me
while you spoke
and while you were silent

I loved the smell of your car
because it smelled so much like you
and your expensive cologne

You would trace hearts on my hand
while you held it
and close your eyes when I touched your face

You held me while I cried
during the sad part of the movie

When I think of the moment you left
I remember all the reasons why you had stayed
and cannot think of one reason
why you would want to go

Because why would you want to leave someone
that you thought was so beautiful?

By Chloe Elizabeth
All those things no one will ever know but me

It's
not
my
fault
that
you
changed

By Chloe Elizabeth
You're angry at me but you changed and I don't know this person that I'm talking to right now. Well, not talking to anymore. I will never hear from you again.
Chloe Elizabeth Jun 2014
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
This is the only poem you ever get written about you because you do not deserve any more words from me
Chloe Elizabeth Sep 2014
I never thought being with you again,
would feel so much like home

Everything is different now,
that's all I have to say

By Chloe Elizabeth
