"Calling Her Name"

You call her name
And the sound echoes around you
Filling your ears and emptying your heart
Gut wrenching silence responds
Not a word speaks volumes
Though her name could fill a library
When she would respond
And rush eagerly to your side
Eyes turned up to yours
Glowing with unashamed adoration
Then you were blinded
And now she's gone
Leaving you lost and alone
Wondering what slipped through your fingers
Like a handful of brightly colored sand
Desperately wanting to change your history
You call her name
The stars capture the sound
And send it back, unanswered
As the moon shines down sympathy
In the hours before the unforgiving sun rises
To beat harsh reality down on you
Illuminating her absence
Taunting you with her shadow
That is cast by something less than substantial
Fleeting glimpses of memory long forgotten
The brush of her hand
The softness of her hair lifted by the wind
Playing havoc with your heart
Hazy mists solid beneath your touch
Phantoms and specters haunt your reality
Eyes forced shut by the pain
Of seeing what is no longer there
Her name twines about your presence
Threading and weaving into the fabric of your mind
Ripped apart by the grief and loss
That has dogged your every step
Since something precious slipped from your grasp
And shattered at your feet
And now she no longer responds
When you call her name
