Prom or No

Prom or No

A Poem by Jimmy Glenn
"

Is she available for prom this year or is she going elsewhere?

"
Is this real 
Or is it her
I don't know how I feel
But I care a lot for sure

Was it her friend
Or her hiding like me
Will it be the end
Or will it cost a fee

How am I to know
Between friend of friend and lover
Dark like a crow
For I still love her

Does she know that
Or does she shy away 
For me it's a fact
But my anxiety makes a delay

I would take you
But you say you're going elsewhere
I'm like an ant under-shoe
My feelings, unfair

Please know I care
And no, I won't ask
You'll ask me, if you dare
Hiding behind no mask

Something pulls me closer
But ultimately, I also chose her

You, I would take
But again you refuse
A feeling I can't shake
And my hurt feelings, a short fuse

I have a dinner prepaid
And tickets, too
Yet I'm dismayed
Because it's all true

The boutonniere and corsage
So finely paid for
No massage 
For that would adore

My heart is all in
But you are occupied
So my lights dim
But once, I had tried

I won't go without
So at home I'll stay
Have no doubt
No one can lead me astray

Dance or no dance
Prom or no prom
I gave you a chance
As I lose my charm

I would ask you
But away you go, true?
