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...

Frost
Erian Rose Nov 2018
In the coldness of the day
A frigid breeze swirls past
The trees covered in frozen crystals
And hands that hold as cold as ice
When your heart is mended
Tapped and glued
The frost melts it away
While the fire boils
And embers burn to ashes
The frost conceals all in glasses
Stiff and lifeless in its grasp
If only the frost could render a damaged life
Because frost isn't as powerful
As the sleet that shivers a windshield
Erian Rose Aug 2020
Glancing above
To the star dusted sky,
My heart twists and flips
At the very thought of you.
Of our wild adventures.

Can we be as close as we used to be?
To the blaring sounds of the radio,
Dancing till we're out of breath?
Clasping our hands tightly,
Unwilling to let go?

Listening to our hearts
Beat on endless repeat,
Laughing till we're the only noise left between us?
Forbidding our eyes to escape eachother?

The moon knows
How much I speak of you,
How our secrets tangle in the wind.
How much I long for you to stare up at the night beside me.

When the stars melt amongst the darkness,
They always lead me back your way.
te quiero ❤️

Home
Erian Rose Apr 2020
the long road may be far
out of reach
but I count my blessings
a guide home

the setting skies
fall below
but the courage he gives
helps me live

i'm thankful for life
the mystery as it is
chasing dreams
being teenagers in the dark

home may be out of reach
yet in my heart
the miles are no matter
from point a to point b

maybe it never was meant to
Erian Rose Sep 2019
All the poems
About the love
About the sorrow
About the broke and hollow
Were all about one
An "I love you" over again
I knew one day it would end
But kept trying to convince myself that it would last.

Shattered
Erian Rose Nov 2018
From the mirror window
What do you see?
From broken glass
And fallen dreams
What do you see?
The moon shines brightly in the nights
Where the stars glow past the darkened flow
The hollows whose bark falls apart
Landing upon a chill cold ground
What do you see?
In a window light
Shining brighter as ever
Leaving a path past the midnight
And a bird's crooked crow
What do you see
When you stare ever blankly
Through the shattered window?

Moonlight
Erian Rose Mar 2019
While the moonlight shines
the moon hangs low
calling out to those
whose hearts venture high
whether the moon be clouded
or unseen by the rain
they'll always stay
in hopes of reaching the stars above
while continuing to wonder
with the world in grasp
holding every spark
to let them shine within the moonlight

Wondering
Erian Rose Sep 2018
Wondering and wondering.
That's all it is.
Over and over, finding myself falling for someone new.
I know she's not like me,
nor likes me that way,
so it's best to stray away
before diving in to deep
and becoming the girl I was last.

Wondering and wondering,
Feeling better then ever.
Over and over wondering the halls.
Noticing my former crush,
who I'd admired for years
not before the past year,
when the butterflies at once flew away.

All I do is wonder.
For love,
for wanting to be free,
for finding who I really am,
all by wondering.

soft evening butterflies
Erian Rose Feb 2020
Let's let the world flow away
in the breeze of evening day
Singing at the top of our lungs
Shuffling through fields and crumbling stones

This love  
A touch in the bittersweet air
Forever remembering
the feel of your lips on mine
No matter the time

Colorful

Colors are just colors
What's the point
of hiding the rainbow
in a world full of grey?
So this is me coming out. I'm a Trans FTM and Gay.
Love is love <3

Friends
Erian Rose Apr 2019
I can't help but think
what it would be like
If I had never had the courage
to talk to you
Would we still be friends?
Whatever you think "friends" is..
Would we still talk?
Or would we drift, become strangers again..
You don't know how much it pains
to fall in love
and pretend to fall out of it
You don't see past
the mask that hides the scars
You don't know my smile
Is all a fake
Just to please you
So you can leave me alone
Because it pangs..

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

chasing hearts

We'd stay up till midnight
Chasing the words in our hearts
As we long for the kiss
To never tear us apart
Over and over again

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
262 · Apr 2019
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

Fall
Erian Rose Oct 2018
Is something wrong
with me?
We are always falling
so easily.
Why don't you talk
to me?
The less pain,
the more we see.
Is something wrong with me?

A Million Lonely Stars
Erian Rose Apr 2020
I turn to the sky
With a face of longing
Somewhere to belong
Within these troubled nights

I try to connect the dots
But they fall apart in my arms
Leaving behind
A million lonely stars

I look up to the song
Dancing along a bittersweet breeze
And dream of the day
These walls will become a home

I close my eyes
Touching the stardust trails amongst bleeding scars
Somewhere out there I'll find
A million lonely stars

is this what we call love?
Erian Rose Oct 2019
Let the story free
Inside your eyes
Shining like a million suns
Falling from the night

In the dazzling shores
The sky fell from sight
Leaving but a trace
Of what’s hidden deep inside

Is this what we call love?
Dancing with fireflies up above
Is this what we call love?
Forgetting what we lost

You’re the risk that’s worth taking
Setting the atmosphere on flare
If the world spun in sequence
We could find each other’s stare

I wish I could promise
What’s been hidden from the start
But as soon as the stars tumble
I’ll be by your side

Is this what we call love?
Dancing with fireflies up above
Is this what we call love?
Forgetting what we lost

Secrets meant to last forever
Splitting at the touch
When a single hold isn’t enough
Cradling a flame in the dust
Your the one grasping all my might
When I’m with you
Nervously hoping that we’ll be enough

Is this what we call love?
Dancing with fireflies up above
Is this what we call love?
Is this what we call love...
179 · Mar 2020
Lost & Found
Erian Rose Mar 2020
A world awaits
Past the skies
Lost by twilight
Invisible to our eyes

Hoping for something more
Real
Crossing the seas to find the light
That life burns out

Over cities and mountaintops
Higher then the stars
Erasing our scars
Leaving behind broken hearts

There’s so much more to explore
Somewhere unknown
Somewhere waiting
To be found
178 · Dec 2019
Please
Erian Rose Dec 2019
When I hear our song
When I walk across town
When I lie awake at night
I think of you

When the girls talk of you in the halls
When the smile blooms from your lips
When the school day ends
I hear you in my head

When I glare at the empty pen and paper
When I sink in the crystalized snow
When I pretend you don't exist
I see our memories form from my eyes

All the pain you caused
Unknown from your heart
While it shattered mine
Every waking day

But you'll never read these poems
About how much I still find myself
Loving you
In this broken heart, you have torn apart
I still smile
Find the light
Because I don't want to let you down.
177 · Jan 2020
fast forward the time
Erian Rose Jan 2020
Our love is different
Random and weird
But every moment spent
Makes me love you more

I'll spend forever with you
To be in your arms
While you kiss me
In the future we make

Everything.
Erian Rose May 2018
When it begins to feel like rubble,

Everything's coming down.



Before the bell of noon,

Everything is coming out.

Long before the sunsets arise,

On a day before Saturday night,

Nothing  is going to hold me back.

Going on with daily sight.



To many might have heard it before,

On nothing but a rumor.

Going higher than intended,

Everything is coming out.



Today is turning to an hour,

Having it turn to a mumble,

Every time lasts even longer,

But it's everything for now.

Overgrown
Erian Rose Aug 2020
At the wake of morning day
I’m guided far away
Amongst the overgrown gardens and trees
On an endless path to be

Faintest scents of herbs and tea
Scurrying friends chattering beside me
Rising sun dew brushing my fingertips
Alone along forests gaze

Stars
Erian Rose Nov 2018
You shine
Brighter than the stars
They only want to burn your glow
Take your place
Don't let them do that
They just want you to fall
Fall into the Earth
Dissolve before the surface
You shouldn't let them take your glow
Your shine that shows who you are
You're worth more than that
You'll always be worth more than that

Although every star falls at one point
You deserve the sun
Shining for the entire galaxy to see
Shining to lead the wise men
Like an angel
Watching down from above
And you'll always be that way
Always be as beautiful
And be shining
Shining like a million Stars

Far Away
Erian Rose May 2020
Where waves broke
pounding on the shoreline
where salt and foam fled
crashing into rigid stones
Clear blue waters
dark as charcoal moonlight
hammering in hurricanes
Racing with the constellations
to a place of stardust
Where she found
her home in the twilight

Dear Judah,
Erian Rose Jan 2020
You make me feel so much
I can't wait to be with you
No matter how far the distance
Or the hardships throw
We can get through this together
With love in our hearts
Forever and always
I want to be with you

You make me feel so much
That no other could compare
It's hard to explain
You're the reason I keep smiling
Dreaming about the day
When all will come together
Forever and always
I want to be with you

You make me feel so much
Living in a world of far away
But for the distance
I can see us living free from harm's way
While we hold each other safely
Forever and always
I want to be with you
And never ever
Want to stop loving you

You complete me
In so many ways no other could
filling the cracks in my heart
With blossoms of roses on my cheeks
And a beating heart too quick to beat
This love won't be easy
But we can survive
Dancing in the rain
And finding comfort in our embrace

I love you
Past the moon
Past the stars
To the edge of the universe's reach

With love,
Erian ❤

Skyscrapers
Erian Rose Mar 2020
The stars mended overhead
Igniting the night
Sounds of the bustling highways
Blocking out the fear of falling

I stared up at the skyscrapers
No one would notice if I fell
Life would keep going on
It always does

A cold breeze brushed through
Taking a step at a time
Up the skyscraper
Until I see the skyline

Lights exploded
In the whites of my eyes
A city engulfed in darkness
Standing still

It only took a second
For my feet to fly off the concrete
Plunging towards the ground
No one noticed I jumped.

The world keeps moving on.

roses
Erian Rose Mar 2020
You never leave my mind
Even when you're away
My mind keeps racing at the thought of you
You're my everything

You never leave my mind
It's as you're sitting next to me
Listening to my heart thump away
As roses bloom across my face

You never leave my mind
Listening to these love songs while you're gone
Smile growing like the rising sun
Your hand intertwined in mine

You never leave my mind
I see us dancing in the night
Playing around in the fields of trees
It feels like you're here

I love you ❤️
Someday, we'll be forever
For my love ❤️

— The End —
