+ To Miss Louis Poem by Jordan Legaspi

To Miss Louis


Forfeit the game
Takes you out from the frame
Cover up your face
Too fast can’t hold the pace
You love the way I look at you
But walk away a mile or two

My pride is broken
Before somebody else, from then
Puts your name to shame
Can’t run the race, but not to blame
You just can’t last and be the fool
While taking pleasure, building wall

The things you put me through
To think you’re never wrong, though
Tears and pain is a smile for you
Compassion is not part of you
The way I’ll hurt my self again
You take away “me” when I give in

You want to act like you’re someone
And be the next to no one
You love the thing I say “I do”
Just to get back to you
And my pride is broken
Because I know, I love you then
