Braden Patton Poems

My limbs are growing heavy and my eyes are getting weak.
The sunset pales the sky as I kiss your cheek.
We lie on our pillows and settle in our beds,
A place for you and me to rest our tired heads.
...

She said, “Don’t be afraid, boy,
I’m right here.
I’m tired and yawning
And glad you’re near.”
...

I was born in the arms of imaginary friends
free to roam at home out of everywhere I've been
then you come crashing in, like the realest thing
trying my best to understand all that your love can bring
...

We are the ones who come in the night.
We don’t fear or sleep or shy or fright
We live in the shadows of a myth,
Hidden by the cool damp mist.
...

The waves crash at my knees,
To symbolize the falling leaves,
The dying trees and shivering breeze,
The winter no more than a passing phase,
...

I’ll stand in the rain and call out your name,
I’ll hope and pray its not in vain.
I’ll devote myself to your steady breath,
and hold you close to my heavy chest.
...

These pills aren't working anymore
My guts are spilling out onto the floor
Of a nightmare you wouldn't believe
Of a nightmare you could not conceive
...

Your face bears memory of our misery,
Just please know that im sorry.
This is how the story goes,
Maybe we’ll find peace in the way the water flows.
...

Show me your hidden fear,
Tell me you want me near.
Kiss my lips and hold me tight,
Tell me everything is alright.
...

I cant help but to hear
all the name calling and spiteful glances.
I guess ill have to retaliate
with this combination of insults and empty romances.
