Alcohol to a wound
Chloe Zafonte Dec 2015
Like alcohol to a wound
You think someone can heal you  
It will just sting and burn
Don't trust anyone
283 · Mar 2016
Get up and try
Chloe Zafonte Mar 2016
The best you can do is find your own sunshine when the world is dark, even when trying to be happy is no walk in the park.

Facebook
Chloe Zafonte Dec 2015
I don't care if you watch ****
I don't care if you smoke ****
But whatever you do
Keep it out of your newsfeed!
I can't tell anyone what to do but I don't want to see it

In just one look

How it feels
Chloe Zafonte Feb 2016
Depression feels like you're stuck in a blizzard

Sunshine
Chloe Zafonte Feb 2016
Sunny days don't make me blissful like they used to and out of all honesty it's all because of you.

Heart
Chloe Zafonte Dec 2015
It's not all about being gorgeous
And who has the hottest ***, it's about heart and how you connect to that person.

Keep trying
Chloe Zafonte Mar 2016
Take chances and stop living in fear

Stop worrying

We make a such a big deal out of a small cloud when a tornado is near by
We through fits the littlest things when there are other issues

Back in time
Chloe Zafonte Dec 2015
I turned on a song I used to sing for you
My mind went back in time
I want to cry
But my tears for you aren't worth a dime

Let me sleep
Chloe Zafonte Feb 2017
I wish that I could feel that joy of finding a four leaf clover. Such luck receiving something so small and simple. As of now I have nothing, so please wake me up when winter is over. Before my memories become nothing but the waters ripple.

Evening thoughts
Chloe Zafonte Dec 2016
Somewhere in my mind, I'm being treated wonderfully by a figment of my imagination who is the person I thought you were.

Religion
Chloe Zafonte Jan 2016
Don't live life looking forward to the end
Your fate is decided by you, not a Priest or Reverend.
I  grew up Catholic and was sent to a Christian school for high school and these people just scare everyone with hell and I can see why people turn away from religion. And if you don't believe in this kind of stuff I'm not rubbing it in your face just saying what I feel.

I trust no one  
I won't even lie

I'm grumpy
Lazy
Moody
A mess

I'm not perfect

Why waste your time ?
Chloe Zafonte Dec 2015
Everything you do will never be enough for someone so you might as well please yourself until you come across a person who actually deserves it.

What a fucked up world
Chloe Zafonte Jun 2018
I see that peas are green, dead possums too. They're deceased just like me and you. And I think to myself, what a ****** up world.

I tie my own shoes, my mom is white. I heard you got locked up, I found out last night. And I think to myself what a ****** up world.

You know you're really dumb though, all you ever do is lie. You're oh so embarrassing that I just wanna cry, I just shake me head asking what the hell did you do? I'm really just saying I'm tired of you.

I hear our baby cry, he's really grown. He never takes naps, just letting you know. And I think to myself, what a ****** up world, yes I think to myself what a ****** up world.
This is my version of What a wonderful world by Louis Armstrong. And just spreading the news, my baby daddy is in jail.

Cowboys in the sky
Chloe Zafonte Mar 2020
In the midst of the pink clowds above, two cowboys appeared. One came down from his horse and cocked his gun and the other came towards me in great force. I couldn't scream, I couldn't run as the cowboy's hand reached out and grabbed me, only catching sight of his brown leather glove.

They took me to another place and dropped me in the river, leaving me wet and cold, stranded on the rocks to shiver. Alongside me a dead woman lay facedown. Her green dress torn from bottom up, black hair scattered amongst the water, her skin was blue and gray. Presumably she had drown as the waves carried her away.

Looking ahead, the Native Americans walked the trail. The tribe followed behind their cloaked chief as he sang and pounded the drum. Their voices sang with hope but their faces were so glum. I watched as they trotted and slipped on the remaining snow. They were in a rush. To where? I do not know.

To the left of me the dead woman stood. She was a corpse! Her face rotten and filled with rage, her fist clenched and ready to charge like a bull released from a cage. Her eyes were black, teeth yellow,  her hair was wet and stuck to her jaw. She raised her hand and struck me, that was the last I ever saw.
This was my dream I had a few nights ago. So I figured that I'd write about it. What's strange enough is that I told my mom about this dream and she said that the cowboys sounds similar to "Ghost Riders in the sky" by Johnny Cash. I hadn't heard the song up until after she told me about it so I am not basing this poem off his song! I hope you enjoy what I wrote.

addiction
Chloe Zafonte Feb 2018
Maybe she makes you feel better when you embrace her essence, maybe that is why you storm in and out of my presence. We spent every day together through summer heat and leaves in the fall, winter comes and I'm left with vague answers and no phone call. The streets at night is where you ponder, high off her love as I lay in bed and wonder... will you come around when the day comes and I finally birth your only son? Or will you still be on the run? You claim that becoming a father makes you scared but maybe you're distracted by her burnished stare. I come to realize that in your world I have become a minority while she is on the rise to become a priority. Was she really worth quitting your work? Is she enough to make you think our will arrive by a stork? You must be thrilled when her taste is on your tongue, vanish into a world of your own that makes you feel young. It may be this way now but I miss the person who took me out on adventures not the one who smells of smoke and risk his life for a woman who will ruin his face and give him dentures.

Don't
Chloe Zafonte Dec 2015
A person is not the main purpose for your breathing, you can live without them.
Do not **** yourself over someone or consider doing so.

Try and outsmart me

Beware
Chloe Zafonte Dec 2015
The jealous partners
Are the most guilty
aware of your innocence
When they are the most filthy
I've been through this before if they're jealous of something little
They're cheating!

My typical night
Chloe Zafonte Dec 2015
I listen to the rain fall upon the roof
As I lay in bed
With a tiny little dog attempting to
Sleep on my head
Most people's dogs like to sleep on laps
However mine has a different idea

Success

Success is being happy
when you're enemies want you miserable
Because they'll know you'll never let them win.

Words & Actions
Chloe Zafonte Dec 2015
Words and actions can hurt like
The cut of a knife
But it one doesn't like you
Go on with your life
Dealing with people who don't like you makes things worse turn the other way if you get treated badly

Web of lies
Chloe Zafonte Dec 2015
Once your web of lies becomes broken
You're the spider falling out of it
And eventually spiders get crushed
I've put up with a lot of compulsive liars
They only hurt themselves in the end

You make me nervous
Chloe Zafonte Dec 2015
I never know what to say
There's something that goes on inside
when you look at me in such a way

My dream last night
Chloe Zafonte Feb 2016
I dreamt last night that you were screaming and calling my name.
I laughed because then you could finally feel my inner pain. I will never know if this dream was true but I would be grateful only if you knew.
233 · Dec 2015
Really people???
Chloe Zafonte Dec 2015
Out of all the people who like you, you choose someone who isn't interested or has bad intentions towards you!
It's like deliberately jumping into a lake of crocodiles
When you can swim in a luxurious pool.
I'm not talking about anyone specifically just what I've seen people do
233 · Jan 2016
In time
Chloe Zafonte Jan 2016
In time you'll just stop caring about whether or not that one person is moved on or miserable and focus on yourself more.

Chrystals
Chloe Zafonte Jun 2018
Somehow some way, I had t in my head that you'll snap back into that person you where one day. I realize I can't turn back time, you'll never change, you've ****** yourself up and the life we had is completely over, I have just as much luck as finding a four leaf clover. Maybe I won't have as much fun with anyone as I did with you but it's for the better , I have to man up and seel how I feel in a letter. They say people change but memories don't, I've tried to help but you won't let me, you shut me out, make me cry, all you ever do is lie that you'll become clean now I have no other choice but to be mean because you make me this way, you call me up demanding ***, ******* other men for ****, it's somehow all my fault you're a complete mess. You spend weeks ghosting me, then show up at my door with a new trick to manipulate and fool me again, I'm sick of the games, I'm tired of the lies that day you went and hit the pipe was the day you and I died.

Numb
Chloe Zafonte Dec 2015
I don't know if I am happy or in
Pain, I'm a zombie who limps and groans
Down memory lane. I feel as if my insides have evaporated from bottles of *** as I
Spend my days feeling completely
Numb

Within you
Chloe Zafonte Dec 2015
The amount of money and friends you have does not matter. If you are able to find happiness within yourself regardless of any situation you've already won.
