That Night - A Poem

This was a poem I had written long long ago... 

I held your hand with both my hands

and tried to pull you hard

But the storm was too strong 

And I could not stop you long

It was the darkest night of all

The most fierce flashes of lightning

It seemed cruel and endless

I couldn't believe myself

Did I really let you go?

I tried to fight the night 

To get you back with all my might

But I was just too late and

You had gone too far away

The sun woke up from his deep slumber

Dispelling the night's dreadful blunder

But I had lost everything

As you alone were it all

I had lost everything

The storm had taken it all...
