A Night's story...
Erian Rose May 2019
When the story ends,
In a vigilant light,
Just know it won't be over,
By the time Dawn meets Night.

Blue Umbrella
Erian Rose May 2019
He'd sing along to the midnight songs.
She'd turn the other way.
He'd run and run to get away.
She'd stay.
Time would fly in their eyes, both dreaming up at the night sky.
All it takes is one day to change a world of what they see.
When they both come to meet under the blue umbrella.

His Iris
Erian Rose May 2019
He sang along to the trumpets in his head,
as the radio once did.
"I'll always be there for you,"
He stuttered past his heart.
The coldness locking his beath
in a frozen cloud of smoke
intertwining in the frosted skies,
"Then you told me no,"
His hands quivered in his sleeves where scars left no marks,
while his voice was breaking like broken bones.
He never finishes his dying lyrics,
with the notes dangling in the air,
for someone else to pair.
And an iris left at the stairs.

Mirror
Erian Rose May 2019
When the lights go out
I lose myself

With every day over
Every night past
Looking in the mirror
I don't see who I am

A long ***** blonde
I'd cut to my ears
Leggings and dresses
Changed to pants
Tees with glitters
I'd change to plaid shirts
I wish I could be
More myself
Then how the world perceives me as

It's always as I see
Staring into the mirror
Where I see myself
In the body of someone else

I lose myself
When the lights go out
Erian Rose May 2019
Knotting my kite
I'd travel across cities
To be with you in twilight
'Cause whenever I'm with you
My worries fade
An echo from far away
Without you

I wake up every night
With the thought of you beside me
But that never is true
I miss you
From daybreak to daybreak
Without you

I love you
Louder than starry skies
And Blurry midnights
I'll always be there
To help you through
The times of endless fights
Without you

Without you
My strings unravel
Untying, untying
Breathing gone tight
Untying, untying
In diming sight
I can't take flight
Without you

I promise I won't be
Without you tonight
Without you tonight

Sleep
Erian Rose Apr 2019
During the night
Thoughts overflowed
Of you and I
I can't sleep
With a love further
Than the sky
If only you were with me

Truth is..
Erian Rose Apr 2019
Truth is..
I miss who we used to be
From the way we used to talk
To the way you challenged me

Truth is..
I still miss you
I try to tell myself I'm over you
But we know that's not true...

drowning feeling
Erian Rose Apr 2019
You always drown my mind...
Even when you're not mine...
Apr 2019 · 621
Longer
Erian Rose Apr 2019
Every song
Every beat
Every one reminds me of you
But they're never true
The more I think
The more they flood
In raging waters of blue
But I no longer
Come to recognize you

Stories
Erian Rose Apr 2019
With all the stories
In my head
Wish I could tell you
It all instead

Brilliant
Erian Rose Apr 2019
As the day grew short
Upon the skylight
Hands stretched out
It wasn't right
Shining high
enduring and bright
The sun drew
Escaping the sunlit sky
Brilliant
A love with no night
You're my one
and only
light

My Flashlight

Worth it
Erian Rose Apr 2019
To me
You're worth it...

Blinded
Erian Rose Apr 2019
If I could tell you how much
You make my heart pound each day
I would lose sight of the Earth
You blinded me
From who I could be

our escape

Let's make this our escape...

Stars & Sea
Erian Rose Apr 2019
She found peace
Embraced in his arms.

She told him the universe
So that the moon could hear her smile.

As they intertwined their fingers
Under the moonlight
It felt like the world
Was coveting them forever.

She was stardust
Falling to quickly
For a boy she cherished
Longing in her heart.

He was the sea
Reflecting her love
Unending and full
Yearning from the start.

They never left each other
Through the troubles life threw
For they knew that they
Were worth the billions of lightyears away.

Before they divided
Into separate ways
They watched the sunset bud
Upon the skies haze.

On the final day
The stars kissed the sea
Wishing goodbye.

They would meet up again
Someway.

Cosmos
Erian Rose Apr 2019
"You're my sun,"
He murmured, picking up the traces of daisies
That scattered the ground,
"My moon,"
He caught the petals as they fell from the cluster,
"My stars,"
A sigh parted his lips,
Dropping the injured bouquet from his hands,
"And everything in between..."
The petals spread near him
Like diamonds flashing on the soil
Forming a cosmos around his tracks.
He lost himself for love and in return,
The galaxy lost him too.

Breathe
Erian Rose Apr 2019
As the morning light seeped
Amongst the sky
The Moon fled
Until it faded below the horizon
Risking his life for the Sun.

When the Sun arose
She painted the atmosphere
Layering it with
reds, oranges, pinks, purples
To give her praise
For her love
That he would return another day.
When they both
could breathe.

Why fear the stars?
Erian Rose Apr 2019
I stare above
Straying away in the lonely gloom
Watching rockets patter higher
Touching the shining moon
One speaks out to the other
Swinging without grief
Far from what to come

"Why do you fear the stars?"
They call down to me

My shoulders sag
Though a smile grew
Each star reminds me of you.
11:11, and still no you.

A world full of magic
Erian Rose Apr 2019
With color shone in his eyes
Of darkness and light
Deep in twilight
They blossomed like asteroids
Plummeting to Earth
Tiny black holes twirling
From the spheres of his sight
He saw the world with magic
Sparking from his palms
It was extraordinary
To be that love
Knew no such limits
Like the color in his eyes
Apr 2019 · 593
I'd go far further
Erian Rose Apr 2019
I opened my fist
To engulf the moon
In a fit of love
That I'd go far further
Then the Milky Way
To be in your arms

Can't help it
Erian Rose Apr 2019
When I am around you
The butterflies come swarming
You make me breathless

4:00 am
Erian Rose Apr 2019
And you still flood over my mind...
A message to the first person who leaks into my mind every nightfall and daybreak, who still manages to curve a smile across my face when all I want to do is drown.

Haven
Erian Rose Apr 2019
In the darkest days and brightest nights,
You're there for me when no one is.
Your smile a cure for every ache.
As the war continues,
You're the safe haven I turn to.

not so secret admirer
Erian Rose Apr 2019
I'll tie the loose strings
Around the glass bottle
Slip in the letter
And throw it out to the sea
Hoping someday you'll read it
With my name scribbled at the edge

Your not so secret admirer
Erian

Till after had no ending
Erian Rose Apr 2019
We danced in the heat of the summer,
We sang along in the glistening silence,
We walked in the roads of lilacs,
We caught fireflies in the starlight,
We reached past our limits,
We acted like every day was our last
And what I wish wasn't our ending.
Apr 2019 · 450
Let me
Erian Rose Apr 2019
I care for you
Don't you see?
I love you more than
limitlessly
Please, let me...
I don't mind
If you hurt me...

Farewell
Erian Rose Apr 2019
Until we find a way without a goodbye.
Apr 2019 · 356
empty skies
Erian Rose Apr 2019
No matter how many times I think
It would be better off with you gone
I know I'm just lying to myself
I could never live without you
As a friend or a lover
You mean so much to me
That even you couldn't comprehend
Because without you
The sky would be empty
You're the only love I need
Apr 2019 · 749
burning roses
Erian Rose Apr 2019
A fire abloom
Deep within my heart
Even a match
Couldn't start the flare
You blaze so brightly
Without having to burn
Away from the field of roses
In my arms
You don't see how much you mean
With or without
A blazing mark
Apr 2019 · 687
grasp
Erian Rose Apr 2019
When I'm with you
My worries
My cares
My wounds
Blows away
Gone like a kite
With its string held
In your grasp

runaway
Erian Rose Apr 2019
If I could
Runaway
I wouldn't have to deal
With feeling hurt
Everyday
If I could
Runaway
I wouldn't have to
Hide myself
In their dismay
But all I do
Is
Run, run, run
from the things I fear
Will come my way
Whenever I
Runaway

rock bottom
Erian Rose Apr 2019
Catch me
If you can
But I'll still hit
Rock bottom
When it ends

offbeat
Erian Rose Apr 2019
different
isn't a bad thing
the offbeat
isn't wrong
everyone is special
in one way
or another
and that's human nature
we're made to be unique
be ourselves
in front of others
that's why I love
living in the offbeat

my medicine and pain
Erian Rose Apr 2019
You're my medicine and pain
The scar inside my brain
Can you heal me?
Because all I want is you out
Before I go insane...
Apr 2019 · 500
hiding away
Erian Rose Apr 2019
I'm hiding you
In my heart
Because you're the only thing
From keeping me cracking apart

If my heart
Ever tears
I know you'll be there
To sew the loose strings
From restraining me from leaving
This broken art

In the end
I guess all I am
Is hiding you away
Apr 2019 · 384
last day
Erian Rose Apr 2019
Do you ever wonder what it would be like
If everything ended at a simple tic?
What would you do
If it was the last day?
For now,
I don't know.
Apr 2019 · 264
lost in the night
Erian Rose Apr 2019
As the door closes upon the night
I keep myself hidden
Lost of sight
Something's been different
Like the world's not right
"It's me, isn't it?"
I spoke in my head as a shiver shot through
When I moved my hand, I flicked off the light
Apr 2019 · 262
with you
Erian Rose Apr 2019
Without you
I'd be shattered
With you
I'd still be broken
If we hadn't met
The world would feel different
For me
And I don't know
How to change that
Apr 2019 · 246
In the dark
Erian Rose Apr 2019
As soon as you left
My world came crashing down
I couldn't feel
I couldn't think
You killed me against the darkness

Echo
Erian Rose Apr 2019
When I saw you with her
I realized that you forgot about me...
We never were anything
But a distant echo in the wind...
Apr 2019 · 280
fall apart
Erian Rose Apr 2019
you were wild in my mind
from the start
your words crashed like waves
against my beating heart
you'll always be there
with me in the dark
you don't know how much I love you
as a broken soul
we couldn't fall apart
Apr 2019 · 378
night wishes #2

If you heard my head
you'd know what's right
because you're the only thing
that won't let me sleep at night

rewind
Erian Rose Apr 2019
I thought you'd understand...
I guess it was all in my head
Like a song on rewind
going over the same verse
over and over again...
