Love Poem: Your Name

Your Name

Your Name

When the evening shadows descend
   and brush against the earth,
When the cares of this day
  fade and fall away,
When the sound of my voice
  echoes through the empty hall,
I call your name.

Longing for just the faintest
  whisper of your voice,
Wanting your hand to cradle
  my weeping heart,
Knowing the broken glass can 
 never be made whole,
Still, I call your name.

Longing to stop the relentless tide
 and make an end,
Waiting for ease of breath 
 when truth prevails,
Hoping to feel the peace of surrender.
Yet, I call your name.
