He has brought happiness back to life for me.
I'll leave my depression behind; maybe happiness will take me back and love me again.

Reborn
Ann Brandt Jul 2019
We are the brigade of the broken.
Take my hand and join us, so many brothers and sisters alike.
Leave your worries at the door,
For together we are strong.
Together we can live forever and be who we are.
We can heal ourselves and love our lives
Come and join us,
The brigade of the reborn
Ann Brandt Nov 2018
My heart is broken
My mind is shattered
Pull the trigger and save me.


Yearning for the past
Yearning for a future
Pull the trigger and save me.


Nothing to most
and most mean nothing
Pull the trigger and save me.


Wishing I had a reason
Something to warm my soul
Pull the trigger and save me.


I search for relief
Search for an end
Just pull the trigger and save me.

Their Fallen Warrior
Ann Brandt Aug 2018
In anger he finds me, knife at the ready.
His words lash me first; ****** jabs to my back.
My soul screams out for help while by body stays calm and quiet.
The sun setting behind me sooths my wounds
A flash of lighting explodes in the sky as the winds whip around us.
The ground we stand on shakes and he falls to his knees in surprise.
Grass burns around him as heat seeps from the broken ground in anger.
Another flash of lightning flashes across the sky in warning as he makes it to his feet again.
Stumbling toward me he trips on broken ground; his knife plunging deep into my heart.
My blood seeps into Her, I feel myself slipping.
She opens up and swallows me as I take my final breath.

To Feel
Ann Brandt Jul 2018
You pulled me out of the darkness breaking down the walls I built around myself.
You took my hand in a way no one has before.
Your smile banished  my demons; saving me from the solitary confinement I put myself into.
You helped me learn how to love; helped me deal with touch.
You pulled me up from the depths of the underworld with your cool embrace.
Your laughter gave me the confidence to think big.
My pain vanished with you by my side.
You gave me these things yet I had to leave you, it hurts me to be so far away, I miss your hand in mine.
Miss you being so close, the way you laughed the way you smiled.  
You broke down my walls and saved me.
Kept my mind from wandering too far; held me when I was sad and lonely.
You listened to my every word, helped me live in this world.
You pulled me out of the darkness, killed my demons and saved me.
You helped me to feel.

Lord Apollo
Ann Brandt Sep 2017
His hands take mine as he guides me along my dance of life.
His soft sweet lips caress mine as his words slip through my lips,  a forgotten prophecy.
He is the sun of my life, His smile bears down on me,  shining rays of sunlight.  
His laughter is music flowing through my soul; words whispered in my ears, the lyrics to my life.
His strong hands skillfully play my heart,  an ancient lyre of beautiful music.
Surfacing the caring and forgiving side of me,  He brings out my best features.
His touch at my waist sends tendrils of feeling through my body;  healing all that is broken.

Sir
Ann Brandt Sep 2017
Sir
Bring me happiness
Deep within my soul
Scorch my sadness and
Martyr my madness
