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