Chloe's Poem- "Relationship Gone Wrong"

I try to give her flowers, but she rebuffs me instead. 

Is this relationship all in my head?

What do I do? Should I talk to her again?

Who knows how this will go? How do I begin?

My heart races as I approach her.

Am I making the right move? Now I’m not so sure.

I start to explain how I feel. 

Is any of this for real? Rejection.

Her upraised hand provides the final blow.

This romance is a no-go.
