Last night and forever

Last night and forever

A Poem by Mehar Anaokar

I heard the rain come pouring down
Come crashing down on me
I saw the streetlight flicker
Like a fading memory
I walked down the road that we had taken
Oblivious, lost in a dream
I was walking back out, out of this road
Away from that heartbreak street


The earth threw up stop signs
And at each one I lingered
Only to find out I had to leave
For you had slipped right through my fingers
I know that I will miss you
I know things will never be the same
I know you might forget me
And I know you're not to blame


Though our connection has lost its charm
Even though the bond has been severed
I thought of you, will continue to
Last night, and forever


I watched the dirt get washed away
Washed away from under my feet
I began to feel an ache inside
I was broken but somehow complete
Drop by drop the rain slowed down
The storm had nearly passed
On and on I walked down the road
That wasn't built to last


Clouds of regret filled sky above
The ground beneath began to shake
I felt so hurt to have to leave you
Back on that street of heartbreak
When I turned the road seemed shorter
Than it was when I looked ahead
It felt easier to stay, though I knew I couldn't
In the past among tears I had shed


I took a deep breath and went far away
And with the distance, I felt better
I was hesitant,yes, but ill be strong
Last night, and forever.
