This is a poem about my high school's winter dance: Snowball (I'm a senior.) To fully understand this poem, you should know that while I liked the girl I went with, I was completely in love with another girl who was there with guy I didn't even know. This poem also reflects how much I will miss Shady Side Academy...I have gone there since Kindergarten, and it has become like home to me....
We were dancing forms in darkness
Silouhettes against the strobe
United by one throbbing beat
Warm bodies moving in the cold
She was pretty,she was fine
But so was SHE, yet worlds apart
Though I could see her with my eyes
...no...I stayed in place and played my part.
I moved my hips or at least I tried
while colors floated overhead
I lost myself and sighed my sighs
And I followed while the masses lead.
Temptation is a mistress cruel
Who loves to rear her ugly head
But NO!!! not I!!! I am no fool
Yet there SHE was...as I have said.
Some bump, some grind, some push and shove
But hark; what treachery is this!!!
To have love on one hand and on the other LOVE?
Fell emotions awake!!! Something's amiss!!
Now body to body and face to face
But there SHE is in the background of that dance!!!
But I am content in her warm embrace...
DAMN YOU FATES!!!! And your blasted chance!!!
She's so high above, and I'm down below
...or perhaps it's vice-versa..I'm not sure
I let the music take me, and went with the flow
In sensual distractions I sought a cure.
But, my ailment knows no ease
Because I'm in love and Derrell's gone
My demons ignore my attempts to apease...
So the pain will continue, and I'll drudge on...
My heart's in shambles...pulled so many ways
My soul blasphemes my my mind's blasphemies
Da Vinci, in his most masterful days..
Could not find ways to fix what is wrong with me...
From moment to moment SHE is thus:
A beauty,a friend,a blessing,a burden, a curse...
My mind speaks different than my heart,but which to trust?
Somedays it gets better but most days it gets worse...
All this and more, ran unchecked through my mind
As the couples hugged and emotions swayed..
I dug no deeper, fearing what I would find.
And for one brief moment..happy...I wish it could have stayed.
And now the lights are up...now it's goodbye
It was over before it ever began...
I didn't know whether to laugh or cry
So I did neither, and we walked away, though my soul ran.
And now here I am...in the morning's abyss
Writing this dark account of a joyous event..
We had our giggles, our laughs, our moments of bliss...
Now it's over...back to reality...and time poorly spent..
Now that this night is said and done
I still just can't seem to relax
Fresman year was just yesterday! Though I'm young..
This was just the first of so many lasts....
She was pretty,she was fine
But so was SHE, yet worlds apart
Though I could see her with my eyes
...no...I stayed in place and played my part.
