Jeffrey Louissaint Poem
I’m never like this
I keep moving
After one fails
I go to the next
But you’re different
I don’t wanna mess up
Don’t wanna sneak around
Rather be with you than them
Thought you’d be easy
I was completely wrong
Thought I could change you
But you’re changing me
Making me think things over
Got me deep in my feelings for you
Maybe I should stop playing
And focus on you
Cause I can’t explain it
You make me feel something
That I don’t feel with anyone else
Especially when we lock eyes
Everything stopped
Everything was quiet
Everything disappeared
Everything except you
Tired of running away, instead
I wanna start something new with you

Jeffrey Louissaint Poem
I’ve felt useless
For so damn long
Wanted to mean
Something for someone
I lost myself
Just to find
Someone who
Couldn’t see me
They can’t see that
I’m trying to change
I’m still human and
Finding my own future
Choosing my own choices
Can’t tell if they’re right
Or dead wrong, cause
It’s my own life
Why should I lose myself
To make the wrong choices
Why should I lose myself
Just to be invisible?
I was scared of losing you, but now
I’m exhilarated to find who I am

Jeffrey Louissaint Poem
I don’t wanna lose myself
To something so trivial
I just want something
That I’ve been missing
I don’t know what
The missing piece is
You had it and you’re gone
Can you return it back
I’m tired
Too tired of
Getting upset
Cause you left
I’d destroy everything
Just to find you again
But you’re not
Worth everything
You decided to leave
And I can’t force you
To comeback to me
It wouldn’t be right
I’ll start all over
So I can find myself

Jeffrey Louissaint Poem
Meeting someone new,
Getting to know them,
Introducing them to your life,
Only for them to leave soon after.
How many times do I need to be vulnerable,
Just for it not to be enough?
How many times does someone leave
Because I couldn’t trust them?
It’s a constant cycle of wash and repeat.
“The One” will stick through thick and thin,
“The One” will never treat you like that—
How much longer do I have to wait?
I’m told to work on myself and try again.
I’m told to give up because it’s pointless.
I give up, but find foolish hope in love,
Invest in myself, only for love to come back around.
Is it possible to remove this feeling?
To give up the need for love and
Become completely monotone.
I’d be more robot than human.
But I’m not a machine, and I’m out of patience.
I’m tired of waiting for it to happen.
I’m starting to believe
Love was never meant for me.

Jeffrey Louissaint Poem
Watching the snowflakes
Gently glide through the chilly air
Watching the snowflakes
Slowly combine and fall together
This one snowflake flew into my hands
It melted and drip out of my palm.
Why are my hands so destructive?
Whatever is in my grasps ends up disappearing.
I started to think about you and I.
We were snowflakes floating in the wind.
We were so close and became one
We split apart now, and I lost you.
Once the wind settles down
Maybe I’ll find you.
Instead I hit the ground
And started to melt apart.
I became water to become flexible to find you
You became ice because you repelled me
I came crashing and rushing to find you
While you were tranquil but so rigid
Instead of melting together
You pierced through me
And I evaporated away.
I took shape of any vessel you desired.
I kept changing who I was.
I tried to be what you wanted.
Instead, I lost myself trying to find you.

Jeffrey Louissaint Poem
I’m chasing a high
I’ll never get again
Made so many attempts
But none feel the same
Told you if I relapse
I’ll make sure I’ll overdose
Except this time
I don’t think I’ll wake up
I can’t move
Everything feels numb
I don’t know
Where I am
I’ve crashed
And I’m fading out
Cause I couldn’t
Control myself
I don’t want to black out
I don’t want to see the light
I don’t want to get high again
I want to be happy

Jeffrey Louissaint Poem
We fought so many times
The stuff I say make no sense
Wish I could rewind time, but
I can’t get back what’s lost
It’s been rocky
Never been steady
I loved what we use to have
But I can’t love what’s dead
I fell in love with
Your imperfections cause
I thought they made you perfect
I couldn’t be more wrong
I kept fooling myself
And I fooled you too
We thought we knew best
We were just oblivious
I can’t say this is love
If it was never there in the first place

Jeffrey Louissaint Poem
Treated you like the others
Cause I was scared of
Falling for you and
Hurting each other
I’m letting my own fear
Get the better of me
Because I don’t know
What the right decision is
Honestly, I’m regretting this
Cause I let you go again
I thought you’d come back
When I had everything figured out
Now you’re moving on
And I’m stuck on the past
Thinking of what could of been
While you’re becoming what you want
Karma’s got a grip on me
Cause I’m feeling what you felt

Jeffrey Louissaint Poem
Before we enter this relationship,
Did I already lose your love?
Before we become intimate,
Did you already meet someone new?
Each time I want to fall in love again,
Something wrong is bound to happen.
I was ready to make you mine, but
Someone stole your heart from my grasp.
Am I doing something wrong with you?
I took caution so I don’t lose you.
Am I finding the wrong type of people?
I chose you because I trusted you.
I just want to be careful with myself.
I don’t want my heart to shatter again.
Your feelings keep changing like the seasons—
How do I know they won’t fly away?
I need to get over this fear of losing you.
These situations keep happening because
I didn’t have the courage to tell you how I feel.
I’m losing sleep over what could have been.
Am I doing you wrong, or
Is it the other way around?

Jeffrey Louissaint Poem
I remember we were
Just out getting brunch
Driving through the city
Being young and dumb
I wanna take you somewhere
Bring you somewhere
That lights up just like
The nights of the 4th of July
I wanna keep things straight
Cause I’m not too sure
If we’d work out together
I just wanna stay as friends
But I wanna go all the way
I wanna see fireworks
Explode between the of us
As we get closer
I’m also scared of losing you
Not sure if we see eye to eye
You’re the best thing to happen to me
And I’m not ready to lose it
Maybe I’ll take the chance
The chance to be with you
