Wishful 'Prom'enade

A Poem by Eagergreen

When you sit anywhere really and want something it feels like honey is in your blood but on prom it's worse

A magical night
of love and rebirth
where we destroy our old
in favor for the new
give up who we are
for the one they want us to be
let go of control
and give in to fear

Feel pressured to be with one
feel pressured to feel alone
because I realize you don't know me
I didn't want to be alone
and neither did you
so now we're here
I see you eyeing her
while I'm here sitting
across from you but then again
I'm staring at him staring at her
not you who sits across from me
but my the one who got away

I could go and walk to you
feeling fearless and free
but that isn't what tonight is about
it's about me sitting here wishing
