Watch the stars
As they shine for you
Twinkling in the darkened hue
Battles raging against the sky
Heights gazing past our eyes
No matter what they say
You illuminate the world
Brighter than the constellations gleam
After all
The universe can’t compete against you
In a sea of darkness
Engulfed by light
“Remember to reach for the stars, and they won't be able to resist flying into your hands!“
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.
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...
Erian Rose Feb 2020
Together
We can make it through
Push past the rough, face our fears
Runaway from here
Make our own light in the darkness
And live our lives
No matter how far apart we are
We can make it through
Together
Erian Rose Nov 2020
Winter days falling near
And pedals dancing upon the rain.
What I wouldn't give to
Have you here,
To the bloom of lilacs
Encased in frosted snow.
Erian Rose May 2018
Sorry
but it's hard to stay
to color
to run
inside of the lines.
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
Erian Rose Mar 2019
You lost my trust
And you lost me too
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
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
Erian Rose Nov 2018
Love,
Open your eyes and look up to the sky
Draw your finger across the night
Connect the dots one by one
Picture the images you see
Love,
Look at me
I don't need to paint the night
Cause all I need is in front of me
Your eyes sparkle as twilight
Gorgeous and bright
All I need is you Love
Because when I see you
Your the only star I see

Darling,
You own the galaxy ❤
Erian Rose Mar 2019
If I could write you a letter
For how much I love you
The pages would be filled
From margin to margin
On every page
They would reach heights
That would be above reach

If the pages ever tear
Ever fade away
Just know I'll be here
To love you every day ❤
Erian Rose May 2020
Her palm was a guide
lightning bugs stitched in the stars
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.
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 Apr 2019
I love you
I can't help
missing you
you're the only thing on my mind
and now all is left
Is missing you
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
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...
Erian Rose Mar 2019
I've never told you
How much I love you.
Erian Rose Oct 2019
I didn't hear what you said
But that smile
That smile makes it so easy for me
To drown in a feeling never to come true
Erian Rose Apr 2019
I wish you could hear
my head at night
then you'd understand
what it's like
Erian Rose Apr 2019
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
No
Erian Rose Mar 2019
No
Whatever you ask,
I can’t help but say yes.
You wouldn’t understand if I told you.
You wouldn’t feel the same way I do.
So I cover it up,
hoping you won’t notice.
For once
Let me say,
“No.”
Erian Rose Dec 2020
as the planets inch closer,
stardust trembles.
lights of green hues
and vibrant blues
dance overhead.
I'll follow the north star
over mountainscapes,
oceans,
and everything in between
to be with you.
Erian Rose Sep 2019
In your silence
I'm finding my voice
Erian Rose Mar 2019
With a world full of heroes, all I am is a zero.
I am nothing, in a universe of everything.
Nothing.
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
Erian Rose Nov 2018
Like an ocean
Our love reaches depths
Depths farther any mankind could go
We act as if we are kids
Riding on a Ferris wheel round and round
Or skidding in the snow
Packing crystals into spheres
Hitting the fabrics of each other
Its endless in our depths
Drawing pictures in the sand
Taking the dive into these waters
Wondering what it will be like years later
Deep in the depths
Of our ocean
Erian Rose Oct 2019
His wildflower heart
Set a spark in my chest
That no other could compare
To these October showers
And our unfamiliar bliss
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
Erian Rose Apr 2019
Till time slows
Or if the last of the
Stars drift away
I'll love you
  ~
I wish I could see you
Face to face
We could talk the day away
And in the dark of the daylight
We can fix our broken pieces
I'll love you
Only forever
~
You're always on my mind
When I'm with a friend
Or a stranger
In the end
I'll always remember
The times we spent together
~
I'll love you
Only forever
Erian Rose Jul 2019
You in my arms
Is all that is ever true
Under the everlasting blue
Erian Rose Apr 2019
Let's make this our escape...
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
Erian Rose Nov 2018
Paint with true color
Trace in bold strokes
Hold each closely
For you alone can see
Beauty is hidden deep inside
Every line and stroke you make
So observe where you stride
Skipping over each other line
What you find in these vibrant tones
Might lead you to a path
All your own
Erian Rose Apr 2020
goodnight, to the pounding rain
and tear stained skin
everlasting dreams left paper-thin
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.

Erian Rose Mar 2019
When we hold close
You turn away
When our hands touch
You drift  further from day
When things look calm
The tornado rages on
Not even an umbrella
Can conquer the pouring rain
Erian Rose Apr 2019
I'll hold your hand
When times get rough
Cause I'll always be here
When you feel like you're not enough
I promise
Erian Rose Apr 2019
Hearts beat
To the weight of a drum
With a steady beat
Against our palms
You're all I see
In the light of the day
Our pulse thumping
All in one
Erian Rose Apr 2020
his fingers fidgeted with the stars
comets flying like racing cars
when he glanced above, all he hoped
to sing a lullaby to the one
he loves the most
Erian Rose May 2020
frosty crystals clung to
light shows on windowsills
they ran faster than their hands
could touch
on the run from racing time
streams of comfort left
rainy roads bare
to them,
nothing on earth compared
Erian Rose Apr 2019
You are my only
Remedy
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...
Erian Rose Sep 2020
I'm still me
And we're distant now
I've gotten stronger
And growing loud
Sometimes I wonder
If you hadn't gone
Extending hands
Vast beyond the sea
Collecting deep-colored shells
For a heart severed-to-be
Erian Rose Apr 2019
Catch me
If you can
But I'll still hit
Rock bottom
When it ends
Erian Rose Feb 2020
If the world
Tries to tear us apart
I'll build a rocket ship
And we'll colonize Mars
