What Was Once One Thing Poem by Brian Kilpatrick

My soul picked up momentum
As I accumulated more and more debris
Everything I came in contact with
Was sucked into the black hole
That had become me

I searched for the words
The key to your heart
No amount of words worked
I fear I broke the lock

The more I tried the more I was broken
By all the words in my head left unspoken
I held the key you held your heart
What was once one thing never seemed so far apart

We were crushed by the wars
That no one could see
While I continued to battle
You had surrender long ago
On your knees for me
