Her Name

What is in a name?
Nothing is a name
when it doesn't sound,
nothing is a name
when it doesn't grasp,
and nothing is a name
when it doesn't sting.

What is in a name?
Nothing is a name
when moonshine
affects my soul,
nothing is a name
the morning after,
and nothing is a name
when I'm reminded.

What is in a name?
Nothing is a name
when faces get blurry,
nothing is a name
when it doesn't stop the
tracks on my cheeks,
and nothing is a name
when it's brand new.

But,

What is in a name?
everything is a name
when it's enough to
trigger profound memories,
everything is a name
when it's abused,
and everything is a name
when it disregards
my own.
