Brian Kilpatrick Poet Prose Poetry

That Was Once You

I run all the stops signs 
In my mind to get to you
You who are frozen
In our minds 
Once in a while 
I catch a glimpse 
Of you dancing 
With the fire
For a moment 
You come alive
And I can feel you
And then once again
You become
Frozen in mind
I grasp at words
To express my pride
I grasp at words
To express the tears
I cry
I grasp at words
To express the losses
We share 
There is no space in between
We are all naked
Bare wires
Of raw emotion
Of love that pours
Into the emptiness 
That was once you
