Prom

I can't breathe,

no clear thoughts

The air that consumed me has all but vanished and hid away

Suffocate,

trembling

Losing all control with no one there to tell me it'll be okay

Time slows down,

scared to death

Wake up; realize its the only way for the end

Simply ask,

nothing more

Want a no and yes is the thing I need last

Minute pass,

anxiety rise

Crush the notes and fight the stress away

Where's my head;

in the air

Impossible to think when everything rushes me to make a move

I'm so scared,

I don't know why

I know I'm forcing myself to escape my cell

The minute strikes,

it's my chance

My legs shake I want to vomit as I wait for you

 

You hold me in and won't let me breathe

I will set me free from your smile sunshine

All I have to do is to ask you

All I have to do is to ask you

All I have to do...

 

You back away like you are nervous and

Mumble to me that I can't ask you, I can't

You cover your pretty mouth

Embarrassed you were asked

Stumble your words that are masked

And you just want to get to class

Finally give me what I wish but it doesn't really help

I don't know why you're freaking out but at least you made it clear to myself

You say to me you might be going with someone else

Part of me jumps with happiness but the other stays confused

I didn't really get my clear no, it's so damn confusing, I hate that makes me wonder where that leaves me and you

I say it's fine and Its cool but I know deep enough I'm just a fool

The moment of truth comes when you say with who

But it's all okay because I know where I'm currently in

I can finally rest and remember when I thought it actually meant

And on the warm autumn day when we met you took my breath

And I don't regret any of it

 

You hold me in and won't let me breathe
