Prom Night

ShannonXx

Prom night 

A time filled with much fun in sight 

Dancing and drinking with all our might 

But I drank far too much that night 

Only to hide my hurt and cries 

I was a mess 

A joke in people's eyes 

I only wanted to lose myself 

Put on a disguise 

I wanted to forget her and the pain she caused 

But I was so drunk 

I needed her there to keep me warm 

I called her name so many times

She never paid attention

Having the time of her life 

She eventually did come outside 

Only to walk straight past my side 

It tore me up inside 

Then I realised someone else was beside me the whole time 

Holding me in her arms 

Stroking my hair 

While listening to her heart beat 

She showed me she cared 

From then on I knew she was the one to keep me warm 

I knew I could then move on from the one who didn't deserve me at all
