The Prom
Tonight should have been our night
An evening of romance
But you gave it all away
You passed up the chance
You should have picked me up
To go and dance the night away
Not leaving me to drive to you
Crying in dismay
I should have greeted you in a gown
With sparkling jewelry of gold
Not bundled up in jackets
Sheltering me from the cold
I should have been pinning a boutonniere
Onto your black lapel
Not laying a rose at your grave
The place that you now dwell
We should have danced all night
And had an absolute ball
Not me laying beside your grave
Crying because you missed it all
You should have kissed me goodnight
Warming me inside
Not getting chills from the cold
At the cemetery where you reside
We should have reluctantly said goodbye
Not wanting to let the evening subside
Tonight we should have gone to the prom
...But you commited suicide
The prom is such a small thing
Of the many things you'll pass by
Things you chose to go without
When you chose to die
I would give everything I have
For you to come back from above
To live the life that you let go
And know that you are loved
