Sunset Overdrive

A poem I wrote last night, about my prom date, whom I will probably never see again.

Its Prom night,

and i'm here with you,

your eyes, hair, vivid.

Every step we take

is a step against time,

as the music pounds on, 

a pulse,

louder than my heart.

And I'm losing you tonight

You'll go back home, 

back south,

your image,

eyes, hair, vivid,

flickers, fades.

All that's left is an outline,

a shape, a shadow, a memory,

for unfulfilled desires.

I thought this was a really sweet write. The words flow together perfectly and the topic shows throughout the entire piece. Prom night... What a sad night indeed for some people. The feelings showed through each line of this poem~ I loved it c:

Don't worry though, sometimes the magic of prom night isn't meant to last forever xo

Thank you so much I really appreciate it. It was sad, but it was also happy because we had such a great time. It was a quite the experience. Maybe when i'm feeling inspired, i'll go back to this poem and see if I can express the happiness a little bit more.
