Don’t go outside
farther than the border
of your skin
where you’ll find
a gap, an abyss
where eyes miss to see,
to be seen and to drown
where arms miss to hold
and be held
where fingers miss to touch
and be touched

But stay inside
where the heart
is full of him

©RoseGirl2022

Lonely eyes look up
into the night
and ask the stars
to lift her up
out of the weight
of the stories,
the pain, the past,
the darkness on earth
and to reconnect her
to the bigger picture
of love

©RoseGirl2021

When I keep falling
and falling
from the heavy weight
of fears and pain,
catch me
in the softness
of your heart

©RoseGirl2021

A lonesome star in the sky
that doesn’t belong anywhere
My love, may your eyes catch it
And may it belong
to the universe of your heart

©RoseGirl2021

When it’s just me
and the stars
and this cross
I carry on my back
When the morning feels
out of reach,
I sing
louder than fear,
than pain, than thoughts
wherever you are, my love,
please, sing along with me

©RoseGirl2021

If it feels like the sea
has abandoned her
and she’s been left
scared and alone
on her shore
as its water pulls back
its waves
roll away from her
she just needs to breathe
to see the sea
doesn’t go anywhere
and the tide will turn

©RoseGirl2021

When pain makes
words so heavy,
they’re unable
to dance in poetry,
love reaches out a hand
to lift them up
so they can dance anyway

©RoseGirl2021

Pain leaves a trail
of destruction
in the head
From the heart
love rebuilds

©RoseGirl2021

Sometimes tears fall so hard
that they break the heart,
hurt the skin
But luckily, love is there
to kiss and caress
the wounded spots

©RoseGirl2021

Raw pain hits the head
and makes a hell
though pure love strokes the heart
and then heaven
is just one thought of you away

©RoseGirl2021

Even if the night roars
the head cries in ache
and loneliness screams,
somewhere out there
there’s a soft tune
a thought, a feeling
a kiss sung by you
that soothes the soul

©RoseGirl2021

I slip away like sand
through hands that
couldn’t hold me
Scattered by the wind
in thousands of pieces
of ache

Oh ocean of love
come with your waves
to put me back
in solid form

©RoseGirl2021

I hold you dearly
within the rain, the storm
the pain, the thoughts
within these words
in all that I know
in the unknown
in yesterdays
in days to come
in far away
in so, so close
I hold you
even if my arms now
have nothing to hold

©RoseGirl2021

As I drown
in the silence,
in the void,
in the fears,
the tears, the pain,
the thoughts,
a beating heart
reminds me
I have love
to float on

©RoseGirl2021

And I just let the day begin
let my feet move
my words write
even if the night
is still in my head
even if love can’t reach me
and loneliness fills up the lack of you
even if thoughts fight each other
even if I want to curl up in the dark
even if fears seem much bigger than me
even if I don’t want to write
don’t want anything or anyone
don’t want to be so vulnerable
even if I just want to be
with you

©RoseGirl2021

Sigh your loving breath,
blow your kisses,
be my wind that
changes the air,
moves the thoughts
and blows
my fears away

©RoseGirl2021

If I walk into walls
in all the darkness
in my head
I carry our love
like a candle
that lights up the way
back into the heart

©RoseGirl2021

My love, can I write you
when my night falls apart
when darkness hurts the eyes
rain keeps falling
and clouds cover the stars

Can I write you
my wordless loneliness and fears
with the pen of my thoughts
and will you write back to me
your love?

©RoseGirl2021

One day within the hurt
she lost all her words
The wind from overseas
found them for her
and kept blowing,
kept whispering
in her ear
not to give up
on what was written
in her heart

©RoseGirl2021

The heart can set
in aches, fears
and darkness
but it always rises
in love again

©RoseGirl2021

When the head is full of ache
it is difficult to think clearly
Luckily, the heart doesn’t need
any thoughts to love you

©RoseGirl2021

If it feels like love can be taken
from her anytime,
she can lose it,
she has to earn it
and therefore she needs to run
before more hurt will come,
she doesn’t see
that love is the source
deep within her soul
what she breathes
what her heart beats
what she is
And the only thing
that deprives her of it
are her fears and thoughts

©RoseGirl2021

If a heart is scared
it closes its doors
and weeps and screams
behind its own walls
where no one can see
or hear it

Until it finds courage
again and again
in the ocean of love
in its depths
to open up

©RoseGirl2021

I look at the stars
and tell them
how much I miss you
how far away you seem
how lonely the night
and they reply to me
as they continue to shimmer
stories written in the heavens
can have many pages,
many twists
but eventually,
true love never dies

©RoseGirl2021

If the day feels
like a big gap
I can easily fall into
as it has all those
empty minutes
without you here
I just fill it
with loving you

©RoseGirl2021

Lonely words fly around me
Perhaps, if I write
them together,
hand in hand in lines
and unite them
in a love poem,
they will feel less sad

©RoseGirl2021

When I don’t want to write
all those sad poems
that rain from the heavens
and flow from my eyes
I write wordless love instead

©RoseGirl2021

Hurt violently breaks
body and heart
and pierces the soul
but leaves the love
there intact

©RoseGirl2021

It’s in those nights
that I lie still like dead
and cannot move the body
to endure the pain
inside the head
It’s in those nights
that I shelter in darkness
as even moonlight hurts the eyes,
that my heart still moves
to find the light of you

©RoseGirl2021

Pain and fears
can scream like crazy
though, even miles apart
they can never
silence the song
sung between two hearts

©RoseGirl2021

Within pain
she’s never
without
love

©RoseGirl2021

If I’m a wounded bird
almost unable to stand
on its feet
will you still see me
as your queen of the sky
will you wrap your wings
around me
and pick me up
until I can again fly myself

©RoseGirl2021

And you have to get up today
and straighten your back
to stand up once more
even if you’re shaky and afraid
of what needs to be done
and the task seems difficult
Just breathe
feel that anchor, that bond
with him, your precious beloved
and be armored with
the power of love

©RoseGirl2021

I try to seek words
within the pain
to voice its pounding
and screaming
inside my head
but all I find
are the words
and voice of love

©RoseGirl2021

A head with harsh ache
lays itself to rest
and finds solace in
soft thoughts of you

©RoseGirl2021

May I lie in your arms
and cry my rivers there
you, my riverbed
in which I can
safely flow

©RoseGirl2021

When ‘what if’s’,
memories
and ‘I miss you’s’
creep in
the skin becomes so sensitive
that even the rain
that taps on the window
hurts

©RoseGirl2021

Heavy
is the pain in the chest,
the memories,
the thoughts in the head
Light
is the love in the heart
Burning
is your presence there
A flame
that dissolves the dark

©RoseGirl2021
