Spider
Chloe Zafonte Feb 2017
He was a spider who lured me into his web. He did not eat me nor try to harm me, he had no intention at all but to leave me there stranded and confused.
Well I'm single ... Again

Poverty
Chloe Zafonte Dec 2018
They say if you're poor, your lazy. Tell that to the elderly working minimum wage jobs, yeah I know ****'s crazy. Get a Master's degree just to end up working at starbucks, needing experience to work a low level job. We can all strive for success were all just getting robbed. When in need of a place, you need to make 3 times the rent, when we're only paid 11.50 or less and they wonder why millions are sleeping in tents. College professors are eligible for food stamps, while their CEO is eating up their salary. If I had to paint a picture more clear, it would be in an art gallery. Helping the poor is being put on a 4 year waiting list, government aid you can hardly live off of while the rest are just praying the Lord above. Having to apply to live in a shelter for limited time for people who carry less than a dime. I can say no more. A simple solution, we could only wish for. Now it's just a fight to the top, to make your living situation as solid as a rock.

Relationships
Chloe Zafonte Jun 2016
If you're not over your ex, don't get in a new relationship. If you just want *** and no commitment then say so! Are feeling uncomfortable with a person? Tell them! Honesty is the key to making everyone happy instead of wasting your and another's time with lies and false hopes. And forcing yourself into something you're clearly not ready for.
There's no hard feelings when someone's completely blunt with you.
Chloe Zafonte Dec 2015
If it was meant to be
Then you two would be together
There's a reason why you are not
Move on

Grasping clouds
Chloe Zafonte Apr 2016
Chasing someone who has no interest in you
is like trying to grasp clouds. Move on to someone reachable!

Green eyed witch
Chloe Zafonte Jun 2016
She captivates all the men in her path, do her wrong she'll show her wrath. She can see your soul through her green eyes, read your thoughts and know all your lies. She seduced you by her charm, her laugh, her grace but she won't bother to replace.. you when she is hurt, you'll be nothing more to her than a spec of dirt. Dancing so fluently as she feels your stare, just gaze in her eyes she has a lot to share. When she's gone, she leaves an imprint on your soul where you will never again feel whole.

No returns
Chloe Zafonte Jan 2017
If I gave you earth, you'd pollute it.
If I gave you the ocean you'd freeze it
If I gave you land you'd plow through it.
Just how I give you love and you neglect it.

Wings
Chloe Zafonte Feb 2016
I'm just a bit crazy, there's really no doubt
I'm a flightless angel waiting for her wings to sprout.
Translation: I'm just trying to get my **** together

Where's Kindness?
Chloe Zafonte Jan 2016
If it's anything that bothers me it's that, everyone is so hurt and damaged because no one knows the meaning of kindness anymore.

A few bad apples
Chloe Zafonte Aug 2016
An opinion of one or a few is not the earth's population's opinion of you.

Manipulators
Chloe Zafonte Dec 2015
The more needy you act
Manipulators know you'll be there
When they come back
They prefer the self respect you lack
Do yourself a favor cut off all contact
From personal experience

Silence is the key
Chloe Zafonte May 2016
Have you ever been abused? Touched in inappropriate ways?
forced to be around people who don't really like you?
Maybe there's a reason why you always go astray.
Have you spent a year choking back tears?
As everyone is so passive aggressive
Do they even care about your hopes, goals and fears?
They probably don't even know why you're thoughts are so obsessive. Your own existence has to run on their terms
You're tired of all that nagging because they see you as a visible germ. Sick of all the bragging about how their life is better when you're not interested at all. You make one mistake and it's like tripping, you make one mistake and no one forgets the fall. In you they have no faith, you found comfort in walking alone because you're birth was a mistake. Others wonder why your heart is stone, but never cry for them, never cry for help. Verbal jabs cut worse than a shark's skin, you must of learned to love yourself.

I've been through hell
Chloe Zafonte Mar 2016
I'm not like you, when I fall I get back up and walk with bleeding wounds. You fall,cry and wait for someone to carry you away.

In the dungeon of the mind
Chloe Zafonte Mar 2017
I feel as if I am being sexually molested by an invisible force, trapping me in chains. Though tiresome and alone, life sends a sense of distain. Brought upon me as it whispers insults through my right ear, fingers stroking my cheek while I shed a tear.

Time

Don't worry dear

and won't shread one single tear

Shadows of the past
Chloe Zafonte Dec 2015
Don't look back, the past is a dark place so keep moving forward,don't look back even when it's lurking shadows call  your name.

Brutal honesty
Chloe Zafonte Dec 2015
Even if he walks through fire for you
And speaks with words like Shakespeare's Romeo, a man who cheats does not
Love you
I know there's open relationships I don't care! The snakes who manipulate women get to me
480 · Dec 2015
Don't tell me
Chloe Zafonte Dec 2015
Don't tell me you love me when you told her the same you do not miss me this is all just a game.

This generation
Chloe Zafonte May 2016
You "love" them but you're talking to several other people. You date someone, treat them like royalty as you are seeing someone behind their back using them as a ****** object or something to talk to when your number one is not around. You see them talking to another person and you see them as a threat to your relationship that you don't care much for in the first place, only you can fool around. The person you see behind their back isn't nearly attractive nor as fun as your first option yet you continue to waste time with both these people because you find it fun to be sneaky. Once you're secret lovers leave you for someone better you will find yourself alone in life, in an apartment at age 35, single, having a hard time looking for a date. We don't feel sorry for you!
This applies to any gender, I won't only frame men. If you find this acceptable to do to others you're not going to have an easy time in life whether its dating or friendships or even to your family anyone this deceitful is going to end up with no one and so will others if you continue to believe this is ok. So honestly don't be upset if you come across people like this, they're broken, miserable and need serious validation.

One thing off my shoulder
Chloe Zafonte May 2016
There are many reasons why I don't sleep at night. But I lay in bed comfortably with gratitude that you're no longer in my life.

Never good enough
Chloe Zafonte Apr 2017
They ask you why you speak less just to tell you to shut up. Wonder why you eat less after they call you fat. Call you a loner while shutting you inside the house. Insult the work you do then complain that you do nothing for them. No one can live two different ways so make up your mind and let people live.

Float away
Chloe Zafonte Jun 2016
I just want to float away like a dolphin in the waves,
I'm tired of boredom, anxiety, passive aggressive games. I just want to float away, I  want to feel okay.

Love is Latin
Chloe Zafonte Apr 2016
People carry hearts, not within the chest. Inside the sleeve. Love is a rare spoken language as the world silently grieves.

What's better?
Chloe Zafonte Aug 2016
You can either sit down and let someone you "love" treat you like ****. Or you can can stand up, demand better for yourself and walk away. The choice is yours.

Object
Chloe Zafonte Jun 2016
Memories are like an object that someone left behind. You have the choice to either throw it away, burn it or place it on a shelf to look at every now and again but please don't hold onto it forever.

Murderous beauty
Chloe Zafonte Aug 2016
Her hair was burning flames, you reached your hand across and continued to braid.
She left a trail of your blood behind her, you cleaned it up as you followed behind.
She took a blade and removed your heart from your rib cage, she still felt it beat in her palms. She left you to die laying on the hard ground and you still watched in awe as she walked away as you closed your eyes forever.
Sometimes a person can make you angry in so many ways but you continue to love them.

When the damn opens
Chloe Zafonte Sep 2016
My mind is water
My subconscious is the ****
That holds the water back
When the **** opens
The water breaks free into the lake
As for the flood, it is my tears.

From experience
Chloe Zafonte Jun 2016
If you don't have a trusting bone in your body for your significant other, it's either gut instinct or you're not ready for a relationship. Nevertheless move on!

Voices
Chloe Zafonte Jun 2016
Repeating
voices in my head
Tried to fight them,
still not dead
How can I mend?
when what they say
Will come true
in the very end

Kites
Chloe Zafonte Dec 2015
People are like kites
they just blow away in the wind
You know it won't return
Don't bother chasing after it
It's not worth your time  
move along
If someone's not talking  to you don't give them any of your time begging  for them back

The idealized bigot
Chloe Zafonte Jun 2016
"Every white person is a fat neck beard that wears a Trump t shirt and yells the N word in public" -Political Correctness
I've never met anyone like this although I'm sure this kind of person does exist but white people don't represent a fat neck beard in the south.

Veiled
Chloe Zafonte Aug 2016
I see death in the form of a crow
As he watches me suffer from below.

The very city I walk in is destroyed
From riots society could not avoid.

The streets crawl with what resembles
The walking dead who do not speak
They just groan in dread

I bypass people's windows they expect  love and care.
They do not see me, I am forced to cover up my face and hair.

This is the only freedom I get for today
As my master sleeps, if I do not return
as he awakes he'll beat me until I weep.


I survive on a short leash, I can't help but wonder the city walking in the blood of those who died just wanting to make peace


My name is changed, my rights were taken.
Seeing my family and friends is forsaken.

The world became deluted and I am
now enslaved in a country where most wanted to stay.
I'm trying to make a story out of this.

America: my analogy
Chloe Zafonte Jul 2016
America is your stereotypical hot blonde. She complains a lot and has a new problem every few weeks or month, easily forgets when something new pops up. She creates rumors and lies to prevent everyone from knowing the truth because she loves seeing everything unfold into a disaster. America is attractive, every guy wants to get in her but they realize that it was a huge mistake after they do when they realize how annoying she is! Once a month America starts her period and it becomes a ****** battle of endless drama lurking all over the land, seeking the sanity of it's victims.

When the snow melts
Chloe Zafonte Aug 2016
Growing up my Dad always told me
"When the snow melts the dog **** will still be there". In regards to people being fake.  I realize now that it applies to feelings too.
Chloe Zafonte Dec 2015
Your voice is the eerie screech of nails on a chalkboard haunting my memory
But it doesn't affect my ears
Just my soul

Bitter

You've turned me so bitter and sour
You've picked the peddles off me
A delicate flower.

Behind the invisble bars
Chloe Zafonte Mar 2016
Dark hair, a paler face
Unique and such a disgrace
Shorter than the rest not expected
to fly the nest! With a very troubled past yet no one knows I matured fast. Sitting in my own personal jail, words sink in like hammers to a nail. Expected to love others who don't deserve my time to ones who see my existence as worthy as one dime. I'm just a puppet cutting away my strings hoping, praying somewhere and someday I will find my wings.

Not our fault

Who are you to tell us how we think? You are not capable of reading our thoughts. That's you  projecting your self hate onto us.

Attraction
Chloe Zafonte Jun 2016
You don't need advice on how to get someone to want you. If someone loves you they'll come around, they'll talk to you, ask you out and stay by your side. Attraction comes naturally it is not forced.

You can't turn back time
You'll soon come to realize
That those precious memories
Aren't worth a dime.

Shower Thoughts
Chloe Zafonte Feb 2017
You can spend the next one or two years with a broken heart or accept life as it is and move forward. Soon will come a time where your pain is not even the other person's fault anymore. It is your fault for choosing to be bitter instead of forgiving.
I rewrote this because I thought it was too long

The rage inside of me
Chloe Zafonte Jun 2018
I'm angry at the fact that I go downstairs every morning to be nagged at as if I'm the lousy husband. I'm angry at the fact that he left us here to do drugs while I sit up in my room and cry as I hold our beautiful son in my arms. I'm angry at everyone for not understanding the fears I have every day of my life. I'm angry at myself for having nowhere else to go, most importantly, I'm angry for letting my emotions take over.
