RED
Brandon Cotter May 2022
RED
It dawned on me the other day
Your fingers swept my palm
I knew what I wanted to say
And I tried to stay calm
Your left dimple sprung alive
As we carelessly got in the car
Is was supposed to be a quick drive
And now your melted to the tar
I should have said no to the beer
And noticed the roads were wet
Now my reality is my worst fear
And my cherished love is just a regret

Peeling
Brandon Cotter Jan 2022
Self mutilation at simmering dawn
With no remorse for what tomorrow brings
Now you lay there
Gutted in the middle of your life
Wondering how the ******* got here
With that shovel still in hand
It's easy to blame those who watch
So take your eyes from your sockets
Catch a glimpse of the blood
As it pours from your existence
Maybe now you can learn to cherish
This fragile slimey brain of yours
And stop smearing it on pavement
I hate you
For you lack of compassion for me
And unforgiving choices
Please kindly let go of the steering wheel
So I can verge away from the median
Into this whimsical bubble bath called life

Fat Man
Brandon Cotter Nov 2021
I hope these goosebumps stay jagged forever
Like summits of this tubular dance
The infinite free fall from never
Blankets our young souls with radiance

As piano keys play during our wars
And we shall melt in syncrony
With our laughter bottled in jars
Will you please sing with me

So we can drown out the booms
And my mother's haunting cries
We've crawled from cribs to tombs
As the metal falls from the skies

My tears evaporate into the air
As my skin boils off my face
Our boney bodies rip and Tear
Cementing our final Embrace

Whimsical Whisper
Brandon Cotter May 2021
Why is it I feel you on the coldest days
As the sun cowards behind the clouds
La de da da
Ballads of rain shower the earth
And scars swell at the thought of healing
La de da da
As the darkness dances around me
You sing at the sight of my falters
La de da da
Breaking me down for the last time
As I struggle for a grasp on what's left
La de da da
My only hope is to someday recover
And survive long enough to forget you
May 2021 · 201
Penitence
Brandon Cotter May 2021
***** me with your love
Stab me with your beauty
Gut me with your kind heart
Yet leave me alive long enough
To regret the day we ever met

Gone
Brandon Cotter Feb 2021
I act as though I'm tough as nails
Forget what words the ignorant wails
How I know you gave things your best
Much more then I got from the rest
I just hope you can forgive my mistakes
Really, any sort of look my way is all it takes
Needed you so bad I would stay up and cry
You were my everything, an excuse not to die

Rae
Brandon Cotter Oct 2020
Rae
Along the moss covered stone we walk
In harmonious clatter of the hills
As stark chills sweep our way
Our skin is like fog along the roaring river
Gently skimming on our clammy existence
Simply clumps of flesh wandering
Enveloped by these jagged hills we roam
As the salty meat of an oyster
Surrounded and encased by the hardness

Hold me close darling
As we forage this cold world together
Besides the monumentous red wood
Sharing hands with the earth we skip
Like pepples across the water
Yearning for somewhere new to grow
New to learn and love
May we dance in the foliage
Of the forests of our hapiness
And spend eternity like the open meadow
We both sprouted from long ago

Go
Brandon Cotter Jul 2020
Go
my left hand quivers as the right extends
reaching out for you knowing its the end
brushed aside by your cold slap
I reach again but am met with a slap
my face felt the pain but my heart aches
like fissures gouging cracks in lakes
I stand stunned yet want to hold you
as you walk away and say that we're through
you get no more than ten feet from me
I hope you feel safe because now I'm comfy
pointing my gun at your back
all that's heard is the crack
as you fall dead into the soft leaves
and I blow my brains to smithereens

Of dusk and eternity
Brandon Cotter Jan 2020
Hello my love
My ember nestled beneath the sand
Of a brisk hollow night
As billions of stars pierce our gaze
Temping us of the heat we may never bathe in
A ploy gesture to continue on
Waiting on this frozen beach
With a spectacle of sand made of glass

You began to pulsate
Radiating your waves of warmth towards me
And like the ***** of a knife I noticed you
Of the seas of blue sadness
You frothed crimson from your veins
Spewing with rage from every pore
Of every tiny sliver of existence
You called my name

Through my watering eyes of fear
Your fire burned through every hope of escape
My vision blurred red as if my eyes began bleeding
Being dragged towards you
Like a vile corpse to the grave

Of all my strength I take one last look at the stars
A turquoise velvet blanket covered in gems
Shimmer to the fate of my existence
And that of my cold brittle heart

Merely at hands grasp and I could feel you
Every croaking notch of burning fire
Your slithering magma oozed for my heart
I awaited the agony promised of Gods
And the end of my minuscule miserable existence

A moment had passed
That of which I could still feel the breeze
And droplets of blue given to me by the sea
As yet another moment passes
As confusion emanates with your warmth

Your hands of burning coal melt my frozen heart
Running a river of warmth to my soul
As cascades overflow my emotions
I lay adrift Not in blood
But of love

Every stroke of your burning passion heals me
Soothing wounds I never thought could be closed
I lust of every splendor you grant me
Your barrage of molten touch has lifted me from the depths
Of the darkest of deepest of oceans
Have me now and forever So that I may die blistering
Alongside you
And your everlasting inferno of love

Pas de deux
Brandon Cotter Dec 2019
dance with me
on this winter night of winds
embrace my beating heart
to the contempt of our life's mistakes
journey across the fields of my madness
and of course your pain
sweat through every pore onto mine
culminating a smear that we only know
and only trust
warm my body with yours
and let me taste what you are feeling
my love
dance with me
and never let me go

Farewell
Brandon Cotter Mar 2019
When the stars undying light reaches you
I hope it scathes and scratches the skin
Tearing you down to your soul
And if our cold moon crashes to earth
May it shatter what feeling you have left
If any is left to consume

Beyond your existence
I wish nothing more of you to come
And this prancing version of you
In my head
To die along with my dreams
For your being sickens me to suicide
And I might just do it
To say goodbye to you once and for all
Dec 2018 · 121
Amour
Brandon Cotter Dec 2018
I carry your heart in my breast pocket
So close to mine
As the beating of our love
Has become inseparable

Creating lives spread so vast
Yet they rumble as one
Like howls drifting though the sky
Of a midnights praise of harmony

Our hands cast in a shell
Healing together
As if we had broken all that we could
Yet anticipating anew
For what beauty
Awaits to discover

A single kiss
Calms that tingle along the spine
Planting our seeds for blossom
As we delve through one another
To grow into something greater
Something new

And we'll bathe under the sun
In endless laughter
Until our bones hug the sand
And our souls may dance with each other
With the same fire we had
When our love first crashed into existence

Hello old friend
Brandon Cotter Oct 2018
Heartbreak shakes my hand again
Mottled with grays and hints of black
In awe of my grimace, it paces
Observing my battered heart
As the crimson flashes from my chest
My light is squandered once again

As the cold embrace tightens my throat
I am speechless to this view on life
Desolate and distraught  
Of the corpse I have shriveled into

I must kneel to the darkness afoot
With tears to choke the last breaths I take
I am left abandoned
Alone
Of all that I have ever loved
And more importantly
All I have ever lost

Fall
Brandon Cotter Oct 2018
In   the eyes of a wandering love
A   shadow cast upon you with just a
Glimpse   of the magic I fall for you
Of   all the moments shared together
Time   cannot grant me enough
So   I will carry your brittle heart
Small,   yet a miracle of beautiful grandeur
We   overlap as dark purples on the canvas
Fall   into one anothers arms at will
In   such a small world, we found love
Love   in the deepest sense of all that is

Turquoise December
Brandon Cotter May 2018
My galloping love
Untamed to these treacherous hills
Steady the unraveling nerves
That fall like petals
From these outstetched stems
You once relied on

Emotions culminate atop this crest
To the enjoyment of the howling wind
Brushing cascades to the north
I feel your presence crashing into me
Like the carless crescendo
Exciting
My broken heart

Your smile dances around my head
As a sultry chasse
inviting memories abound

Of the prancing *******
Beneath our swimming souls
And our warm blooded bodies
Falling in love
Like a tender tompé into my arms

I can feel your touch
A subtle
Yet electric brush of comfort
As the pouring rain smears around me
Casting clouds into shadows
Like your hiding just out of sight

No matter the distance traveled
Or the places you call home
I will always be holding your hand
To mend a bond gone aloft
But not forgotten

Until the sun and moon
Forget how to play
I will cherish what we shared
With a key around my neck
To our locket of love
And everlasting friendship


For you

Love is
Brandon Cotter Feb 2018
Love is miraculous
It's countless bubbles perched on your shoulder
Surviving our baths journey
your soft skin wrinkles
As tiny toes adapt to the water

It's miracles making eye contact

While the sun sets
Between our gushing hearts

It's the burning down our throats
From the poison we share
Before a long night out

The many seasons of our love
Autumn encased our passion
As the falling leaves
Crunch beneath our feet

Love is the laughter
And our endless touch

If souls exist
Ours are holding hands

The cuts and the bruises
Of painful nights of regret
Love is worth remembering
When all you want to do is forget

It's tasting you after a long day
And the feeling of your heart
Knocking against my chest
If to plunge through the doors
Into my cyclone of desires

Love is the songs we sing
And the movies we watch
Altogether
It's the memories we have
And not knowing the last time
We'll get the chance to make more

To be honest
Love ****** me up
Not caring if I failed
Or made a mistake
Love would catch me

Love is the last time we kissed
The last time I held your hand so tight
But now that you're gone

Love is something cold
A cadaver drained of a soul
A pile of mass to dissect
Love is cutting yourself
Just to see if you heal

In all the madness
Love is
And will always be
A curse of the ******
Yet plush to the touch of wonders

Dark
Brandon Cotter Jan 2018
An unlit room more or less
I've lied
More
Much more
Black paint under moonlight
Well
Let's forget the moon
But you see the walls still right?
How about drawing the shades
And now I've disconnected the street lights
And every other light
While we're in a mood to disconnect
There goes the rest of them
Now we're talking
Dark
I mean really dark
But I can still feel light pouring in
Spraying on my skin
Oh of course
The sun
It must go
Ah like that
That's better
Oh my God
The stars
How the absence of ours
Illuminates your beauty beyond words
And yet you must go
One by one
Until we have finally arrived
Dark
As if my eyes have been taken apart
Atom by atom
Each wrapped in vantablack
And individually deleted
Darkness that questions reality
As I float adrift
Searching for a way out of this emptiness
That I have trapped myself in
The more I yell
The less I feel
The less I love
The more I cry
And you
Even in the dark
In a blanket of black
I can still see you
For in the absence of everything
Nothing matters but you

Red Berry
Brandon Cotter Dec 2017
The berries harvest an electric brisk
Channeling fears
Of the roaring seas
Oh how the clouds ran that day
Beside tides of tireless wakes
Spewing from airless lungs
And of dreams
Pouring with laughter
Open toed and gay

A touch to my lips
Provokes my blood to dance
Joining hands with your heart
To the rhythm of your soul
We clasp
As a hymn of whimsical folly

Cheek to cheek
I taste you and all your wonders
Tantalizing every taste bud
Of adventures to come

As your **** latches to my gums
Surviving the swallow
Clinging to the last of our memories
I regret ever consuming you

The after taste of you lingers
Like empty vases scattered from death
Hollow of the red I once held
And the smell I followed
When lost in the dark

I will find you someday
Deep within those woods we wandered
I will pluck you from safety
And we'll plunge into chaos
The chaos of love

COLORS
Brandon Cotter Dec 2017
GREEN
Our jeans tattered from the fields of grass
                                                           ­              GREY
Soaked bags as we run off to class
                                                           ­          BROWN
Oh how intense I can stare into your eyes
                                                            ­           BLACK
As darkness blankets the churning skies
                                                           ­        YELLOW
we awake overlapped and full of love
                                                            ­          WHITE
Floating in fantasy as the symbolic dove
                                                            ­       ORANGE
Sunsets and champagne, and treats too ****
                                                            ­                RED
I gave you more than everything,
                                               I gave you my heart

Hindsight
Brandon Cotter Dec 2017
Reverberating madness
Like an echo on repeat
The blames hurled around us
Yet it stops at your feet

Time to claim your faults
Let's reopen the scars
In search of your hidden vaults
There's one for every star

Every picture
Every song
The cruel thing about it
Is it took us this long

To find out we'd lose
Like a game of darts
And someday we'll choose
What happens to our hearts

Do they belong in the sky?
Or burn to the touch?
Either way I know I'll cry
Because I miss you so much

I miss the sounds
I Miss the sights
Like searching hounds
Miss searching nights

As I sit here all alone
With the confidence I lack
My heart turns to stone
wishing I had you back
Dec 2017 · 266
Snow
Brandon Cotter Dec 2017
You are
*******
The worst thing for me
Yet all I could ever need
And tonight I need you badly
If I **** myself
I want you to be there with me
Smothered on my lips
Violently flowing through me
Pulsating past my heart
So that I can feel your love
On this peaceful winter night

Masterpiece
Brandon Cotter Dec 2017
Madness tip toes
Ripping my brain through an eye socket
As its placed in the blender
My memories churn
Feelings splatter on the walls
Every thought I've ever had
Or ever will
Shredded and sprayed
As a ******* piece on display
You gaze at my wonders
My life
Sliding down every crevasse
Just to walk away
Unscathed from the beautiful mess
I sit in silence, a hollow shell
Only to look upon my life
As it was meant to be
A work of art
Dec 2017 · 226
Mad

Mad
The chaos keeps me       sane
It's the                                       Silence
That's really starting to                     Scare me

Aches
Brandon Cotter Dec 2017
Her fingers slither and slide atop my heart
Clinching at the neck
As my father would
With no remorse for the bruises
Or constant aches I awaken to

Every beat captured and confined
The walls filled with jars of the echoing
Never to be heard or reckoned with
Prisoner of my long lost love

I gave you my heart, Without knowing someday I'd have to move on
Shakeled and shredded, it's beat to a pulp
Confined to quarters
Where light simply cannot go

Even if I should move on
I don't think I can
Because darling
I made the biggest mistakes of my life
Loving you and letting go

Tricycle
Brandon Cotter Nov 2017
Like the wheels on my first tricycle
I am broken
Used and worn as my rustic soul sits
Beside the growing weeds
At my parents house
I watch you waste away over the years
Growing tired
Blood red peels from your core
Scattered around for all to see
Maybe one day I'll return
To find you've moved on
From those sun striken rays
Pumbling your existence
And hopefully it gives me the strength
To move foreward as well
And understand that the past
So beautiful and joyous to the senses
But Nothing will put me on the wheels
Of that lonesome bike ever again
Nov 2017 · 129
Falling
Brandon Cotter Nov 2017
How do I move past these holes in my life
The missing texts
Empty photo albums
Old receipts
The last shirt I found of yours
The messages
Old perfumes
Earrings
The last box of your favorite mac and cheese
So many holes to leap over
And I'm afraid my only option is
Falling
Nov 2017 · 128
Sightless wander
Brandon Cotter Nov 2017
Mindless sparks of your pheromone
Erupt emotions hidden deep and dark
Of my hollow graves
As if my thoughts wonder about
Leashed to a core
Wandering eons in search
Of the more
Or less
Growing upon these limbs
Of a dying tree
We grow to a future of the unknown
As clades of mankind's debacle
Fighting for a single chance
Just to love
Or be loved
In this dreary frightening world
We call home
Nov 2017 · 126
A piece of you
Brandon Cotter Nov 2017
Like pulling bark from a tree
You tug at my mind
Separating eventually
From the tall aging oak
Standing here alone
With a piece of you
That I know will eventually die
Nov 2017 · 316
Touch
Brandon Cotter Nov 2017
A glimpse of peach
Succulent on a cloudy day
Canines plunge through the skin
Piercing through a sea of flavor
As colors collide
The bleeding red pours into crimson
Casting darks to my swallow
A tempest of treasures
Exploding on the buds of my tongue
Within the sultry dripping
Of these wet lips I use to kiss
To plant upon you
My darling
My peach
Nov 2017 · 160
Bandit
Brandon Cotter Nov 2017
My skeleton shaking
Collapsing down on itself
Splattering organs onto the earth
As the organics hold hands
Churning life amongst the dirt
A vibrant red howls
My heart
Stranded above the mess
Watching miracles
Like a jumper Contemplating the end
blood burning rapid
Dripping impurities ubiquitously
Sharing what feelings are left
Before you consume all that I am
All that I was
All that I will be
And my brittle pumping heart
Nov 2017 · 133
Embrace
Brandon Cotter Nov 2017
Whispers in the silence
Like tears amongst the violence
I trusted you with my life
And you went and unleashed the tyrants

Spewing lies to my face
Like morbid acid and mace
You gutted me with your knife
And spread me open for deaths embrace

And now here I am alone
Wishing you'd just pick up the phone
Even if we quarrel and strife
I'd take the latter if it wern' t for the stone

Encased around my dreams
The ones where nothing is as it seems
Where we're husband and wife
Yet I burst awake in the screams

Just wishing you were here to hold
Until we both grow pale and old
Even if disease should run rife
We'll keep eachother warm in the cold
Nov 2017 · 204
Android
Brandon Cotter Nov 2017
Beside me lays your warmth
A casket of coals
Glowing throughout the night
As I watch over you

Such a thing
You share with this world
The harmonious spectacles
Clashing all at once

For as long as I'm conscious
Your mind will be safe
And your heart lay sultry
Thumping in the background
Of your various dreams

I must join you now
Where we can touch once more
Beyond this metallic taste
And unforgiving edges

Let me remove my shell
Placing my parts in jars
And I leave you my soul
Where we can smile once again
Nov 2017 · 148
Catch me
Brandon Cotter Nov 2017
Mist dances with the trees
As you and I used to
Sifting through one anothers life
Wrapping our love
Against our warm hard bodies

Eventually these clouds disappear
And we're left with such a bite
That only the cold
Can sweep us off our feet
Nov 2017 · 357
FEAR
Brandon Cotter Nov 2017
I cry only in the silence
Bathing within the tears
Regretting what I say once
Because rehearsal tests fears
Like a diamond in the rough
Just waiting to be unveiled
I'm like an Animal to the trough
I'll survive where those have failed
Picture me dying
Better yet picture me sane
I'm the one constantly crying
While you maintain your fame
Amongst the fog and the rain
I'll remember every word that you said
As I embody this pain
And wish I were dead
Oct 2017 · 151
Non compos mentis
Brandon Cotter Oct 2017
The tea boils
As the food spoils
And my tears
Fall harder each day

I check the time
And again check the time
Because without you
I have lost my way

Mold in the sink
Dishes start to stink
The cats need to be fed
As we starve in the cold

My heart aches in the morning
And again when it's storming
You promised forever
Or atleast until we were old

But go ahead have your fun
While I sit with this gun
And test my luck
On a game of chance

One click two click
The sound makes me sick
As the devil smiles
With his haunting prance
Oct 2017 · 277
TIME
Brandon Cotter Oct 2017
The entirety of our lives
As we strive to coexist
Like a bee amongst hives
In a maze with no exits

Tiptoe along the lines
Of what's right and wrong
We see our future and it's binds
Like the hook to our favorite song

With regrets haunting our dreams
And decisions tempting fate
It's hard to hide the screams
When our emotion runs off hate

In the end when all that's left is love
And our star has lost its light
Our existence will rise above
In this dreary cosmic fight

To have a place in history
Of all wonders and the sublime
And to finally solve this mystery
Of these shackles we call time
Brandon Cotter Oct 2017
The longest of nights lasting an eternity
As tics and tocs echo off these empty walls
Nothing moves or even vibrates
Besides the spontaneous quiver
Of my bottom lip
Dancing alone to the sadness

Dust resides in place of corners
Of every picture frame you took
Leaving hallow memories
To haunt this dreadful house

Staring at our bed
Still made from the last time
We both slept in it

My heart collapses
As my body follows
With a rush of pain
Stabbing into my mind

My dearest friend where can we run to?
Please take my hand
And show me where the pain stops
Or where the road ends
Or how the light dies

You've always been there for me
And hid away when I forgot
But I need you now more than ever
Please don't leave me here all alone

I may not be as strong as I once thought
And this scares me
Because you may be my only friend left
Brandon Cotter Oct 2017
You want to know the truth?

I lost a part of me that day
My body shutting down
As the convulsions started
I guess that's what happens Right?
Eighty two capsules of Tylenol
Dissolving rapidly in my stomach

As the seizures started
I broke my little brothers lamp
Crashing to the floor
muscle spasms kept me awake
Just long enough to think...

Think of my mistakes
And the reasons I wanted out
The flashes of your face
And the shades of your smiles

But till this day, I'll never forget
Not once was I afraid
Not once did I regret
I truly believed I was going to die
And I had accepted it

Sometimes I wonder
If a part of me did die that day
Left behind to wither away
Haunting me from time to time
Calling me to come back

And to be honest
I miss you old friend
But I still have things to do
So you'll have to wait a little longer
Before we can hold hands once more
Oct 2017 · 200
Just us
Brandon Cotter Oct 2017
Splattering droplets
Calm the skin
As each molecule
Fissures under the magnificent rays

Oh why have these bruises failed to heal
To exist as pastel
Smeared upon my canvas
Traversing along my veins
As roaring rapids
Claimed the cracks of the earth

Forgive my unforgiving tendencies
Latching onto your heavy soul
Dug so deep within yourself
My roots excavated your pain
And brought nothing but beauty
To this calm yet frightening world

Breathe

Just breathe

Let us synchronize our hearts
As one
And our minds will forever follow
Oct 2017 · 184
Grow
Brandon Cotter Oct 2017
You grew onto me
As the gallant red wood
Binds with the earth
Morphing and mixing
Our roots intertwined
Clasping hands yet
Clashing organics
Without you I'm baron
Just endless desert
Awaiting your everlasting life
Love

U.S.S Suicide
Brandon Cotter Sep 2017
The contents may be under pressure
I think to myself
As I lay on this cold floor
Mismatched socks and a pair of gym shorts
One last jab at myself
To replace this fear with humor
the razor gouges my smooth skin
A quiet patter echoed throughout the house
The blood pooling at my thigh
pain slowly drowns away
Like a ship cracked at the hull
There is nothing left to do
But wait
I will not struggle towards the surface
I will not panic in the darkness
As my lungs fill to no return
I leave this cold world
No longer afraid
And no longer hurting
my aching heart rests
As a sun setting along the sea
Sep 2017 · 226
Borders to the sandbox
Brandon Cotter Sep 2017
Graves dug by robots built by man
As these hallways clutter
Air tainted by the breath of disease
Crashing rays of light shatter my thoughts
To love you
As another holds your hand
Give me this future you promised me
Amongst the chaos and pain
These imaginary voices control my life
Scripting when to bath and when to die
To void this re-entry ticket into life
Hurricanes crash as birds fail to fly
Hearts will stop and these cells will die
Actors run off script to tell us lies
Beneath melting ice of the unknown
Show us beauty yet spare us fate
As these flowers fail to blossom
Give us more time
To fix our mistakes
Sep 2017 · 250
All because of you
Brandon Cotter Sep 2017
The way I fold my receipt after checking out
The song I turn to on my last rep
The reason I'm on season 6 episode 9
Why I pull the cookies out 3 min early
Why I still use a body pillow
Why I try to floss
The shoes I wear
The food I eat
The tears that flow
The heart that aches
The sadness that followed after you left
The rage I got lost in
The gambling
The drinking
The sobbing
My life

The day is finally here
Bouquets and bow ties
Subtle chatter fills the gardens
out my window
Along with the sweet smell of cheesecakes
Sifting down the halls of the Ahwahnee
My dearest
I fail to hold your overflowing heart
Spilling starboard of these shaking seas
The bow holds stern
Along course amongst the laughter
And tears of those we send away
Spring clouds pirouette with the sun
Illuminating numerous fawn
With their gallant temperament

I love you

Glistening grass embodies the beauty
And nature of these woods
Towering mountains protect the chaos
Within our souls
Fresh dew glides the scape
Promising of new life to come

I love you so dearly

Stiffened suits mask soft bodies
As we make our way to the grand hall
Echoing excitement boasts beyond the trees
Yet as you enter
My heart is all that is heard
A single kiss to carve our names into Destiny
As one with many
We will prevail all fears
And conquer these mountains
that keep us safe
Together forever seems too simple
With your blanket of love to keep me warm
The illuminating moon
shines upon your cheek so brightly
As if a star pours from your beauty
A bond born on a day of curse
Just as we planned
To tempt those who challenge our love
May we go into this unknown
With hands clasped
And awake as one
This is about my planned wedding day. Although it will no longer happen. I still dream of it. Seeing her there with me gives me a feeling I can't describe.

Fearless
Brandon Cotter Sep 2017
I
     AM
                FEARLESS
Nothing could ever scare me
Or hurt me for that matter
With no intentions to bow to the weak and inconsiderate idea of fear
No moment is too big
No journey too long
I      a m        u n s t o p p a b l e
Nothing on this earth could ever stop me
Or make me quiver
Fear will never stand in my way
For a thousand years I will stand tall
Never to back down from anything
There is nothing I can imagine that would ever scare me


Well....


                



Until that day






The day you left

End
Brandon Cotter Sep 2017
End
Spirits roam and despise
May we rise
Just to fall
As humanity tries
To leap for skies
Before the crawl
In our eyes
Small tears of lies
Abandoning us all
As the last man dies
Our final dream flies
Forever death reigns tall

Text suggestions
Brandon Cotter Sep 2017
You see those words on your phone?
The ones that pop up as suggestions
Before you type something
The stories they tell
And the pain they hold
Of the words we use most
That we'll never get back
These are mine
I.                        Love.                   You.
Let me know what yours say.
