Calling Your Name Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Nothing more to say, there are no more words to love
or even pray since you are no longer here.

Thinking that our love would be forever, treasuring
your heart with mine through the years together.

Calling your name through the tears, knowing that you
miss me desperately and are looking for me also.

But, I too, cannot be seen beyond the black curtains
of death between you and I.

Understanding nothing, heart breaking as your sun sets,
leaving us bereft and alone in the finality of your life.

Hanging my head now in total despair, tears pouring from
my heart, death orchestrating intense emotions and feelings.

Yet, there is no beauty in it's music, all has been taken,
there is nothing left at all.

We were in each other's arms, suddenly you were no longer
with me and I felt the nothingness of your being emptied
by death itself.

Wrenching my heart from within, agonizingly and silently
screaming out in anger, unable to contain my grief, only
wanting to know why you were taken from me.

There were no answering replies, crying, totally saddened,
apologizing to you for my anger at leaving me alone.

Yet, how could this happen, I love you still this moment,
I haven't stopped at all, I wasn't ready to let you go my
dear.

Head hanging, knowing that I would never have been ready
for that to happen, now having lost you to death, being
the loser, left with nothing but our memories together.

Death having won at last, taking you from my loving arms
as we slept so closely together through the night, not a
whisper of what was to happen.

Waking in the morning to the loss of my entire life, never
wanting to rise from our bed again, because I felt that
I'd be leaving you alone and didn't want to do that to you.

Not like it had been done to me, with no compassion at all,
as the curtain of death fell between what we once had in the
darkness of a loving embrace.
