stranger in the dark

A Poem by Anamika

what a night it was
the feelings i cannot define
for the first time in my life
the pleasure was only mine
there i was standing alone
so dark had that night grown
my heart was broken once again
i was lost in that familiar pain
but there he stood in the dark
i didn't know the stranger too well
after all this was a land of strangers
a place i would for now dwell
he came forward and took my hand
that warmth i would never forget
for once i cried on someone's shoulders
but never did he step back
we danced for hours together
suddenly i realized the truth
i stood there all alone
my stranger was gone
i wished he would return
and we would meet me again
and it would be my turn
to end his unspoken pain....
