I can feel you longing
I long for you too
Everyday a new dawning
Distance can’t keep me from you
Every night another taunting
My love never withdrew
A feeling of belonging
I hope I’m one of the few
I don’t need to hear that you love me
I really hope that you do
© Delia Ross. 2019
You’ll never need anything better
Let me be your forever
I will carry you any weather
My body is your shelter
Your heart is my treasure
My love will always be your ember
Wrapped around you like a sweater
I’m here for you whenever
You’ll never find another love greater
© Delia Ross. 2019
Meet me out of the blue
I just want an hour with you
And then another two
And then another few
Let the hours accrue
Kiss me when they do
Let me love you through
It is overdue
So let’s rendezvous
I want you as my only view
© Delia Ross. 2019
I got to where I never cry
I can feel the hours passing by
I keep the blinds closed from any sunshine
It doesn’t cost me a dime
To waste all my time
It feels like the wrong design
I still tell them all that I’m fine
Suffocate on all the energy
Surrounded by negativity
Completely numb without sensory
Nothings ever bothering me
Nothing to ever do, no one to see
Married to my invisibility
My soul a wasteland filled with debris
© Delia Ross. 2019
Written words intended to sting
Written traps that would wound a king
Tied it tight to the back of my wing
Stuck around to feel him tugging
Held so tight he could feel me cutting
Cried so loud he could here me coming
Insert the spear while his heart is still pumping
Make sure he knows that I am not bluffing
Leave him broken so he can’t feel nothing
At least then I know he can feel something
And get a taste of the pain he is causing
Let him know how bad I am hurting
Teach him a lesson about deserting
Tie his feet so he can’t keep on running
Oh my love what are we becoming
This isn’t the love that I had summoned
© Delia Ross. 2019
Give me the knowledge to talk to you
Give me an hour to hear me through
Give me your eyes so I can see the view
Give me love where the spaces grew
Give me time to fill up her shoe
Pick me up when I fall as I do
Then one day you may love me too
The same way that I love you
© Delia Ross. 2019
His love is warm
Beware his chemical burn
He’ll make you yearn
It’s where fields of love are born
Beware his thorn
He’ll leave you alone to mourn
You’ll come to learn
How to love his horn
© Delia Ross. 2019
She and her but never me
But you and her aren’t destiny
The other one will never see
You and her just won’t agree
But you and I were meant to be
I love you unapologetically
We need to get in harmony
My heart is waiting patiently
But I won’t wait here infinitely
© Delia Ross. 2019
I shouldn’t have to speak to you in binary code
Even if ones and zeros are the only thing you know
You made it very clear you’re going down a different road
And that your cold shoulder is the only thing you’ll show
You made it very clear I’ll never be your afterglow
So I’ve turned around can you please lower your crossbow
© Delia Ross. 2019
It hurts more than my feelings
It hurts more than my pride
It hurts more than my ego
It hurts more than your lies
It cost more than your freedom
It cost more than my cries
It cost more than your window
It cost more of my time
I live in limbo
While you agonize
I see a hero
You’d never recognize
This is an intro
To a better life
The cost is zero
If you drop the guise
© Delia Ross. 2019
Caught a glimpse
Of his horizon
Headed toward
To enlighten
Instead
I only frighten
I’m not the one
He has the light on
I’ve landed on
An unwanted island
I’m simply tired
Of trying
Sitting around
Only crying
Nobody cares
That I’m dying
© Delia Ross. 2019
It’s not terribly hard to see you’re always chasing after young silver
Spend your days shinning every dime by the muddy river
Try to hide reflections of a liar in its mirror
If the devil bit you in the head it wouldn’t make it that much clearer
But I’m going to cover you in truth until you shine like glitter
I doubt anything I write can make you more bitter
You’ll probably claim you’re a victim and call me a killer
But neither of us are walking out of here a winner
My heart lost its color and settled for winter
I told you to shoot but you failed to pull the trigger
And now my love for you will always just kind of linger
If you ever want a friend you’re invited for dinner
If you ever need a rare element that’s where I can deliver
I hope one day you will warm my heart from this shiver
Until then my soul will just tremble and quiver
(He always wants the young silver – she’ll never want what he can give her)
© Delia Ross. 2019
I will always love you from afar
The same way I love a distant star
And cast wishes under its light
Where I pray for you every night
I will always wonder where you are
What catastrophic event pushed you so far
Your heart a celestial sphere
But you never let anyone near
And on nights when the sky is clear
I cry into the atmosphere
I couldn’t tell you the hour dear
Every moment I wish you were here
You and I live under the same sky
The winds blow west and carry my cry
With raining tears and a heavy sigh
I lie and promise this is not goodbye
© Delia Ross. 2019
I’m still calling can you listen
I’m still learning from this lesson
I’m still crawling despite our distance
I still see you despite my blurry vision
I’m still moving like I have a mission
I still love him despite his own suspicion
I keep leading when I should be in submission
My feet keep moving in any ole condition
My heart keeps ticking despite this damn addiction
My fire keeps burning with or without his ignition
© Delia Ross. 2019
I need your starlight
The dreams the same every night
I fall asleep in your skies
I wake up to your kind eyes
And with a kiss the Sun will rise
And by your breath the wind chimes
And with your touch my eyes will dry
You are my favorite sky
Your lips are the best prize
Your eyes hypnotize
You are my favorite high
Your mind is a sunrise
Your love is a paradise
© Delia Ross. 2019
He said you are not the reason
And it nearly stopped me dreaming
Now my soul’s in winter season
And I cannot stop it bleeding
Now my heart is barely beating
And for you it’s always weeping
Now I don’t want to go on breathing
And my life has lost its meaning
© Delia Ross. 2019
His absence begs me to go
His disinterest tells me so
His eyes I long to know
Feels like I already though
His existence set me aglow
His silence so loud I woke
His sorrow so heavy he broke
His darkness so thick I choke
Our souls twisted together like oak
I am doing my best to climb up
His words like incantations evoke
For who these pages I devote
Into these rhymes which are wrote
My love for him is the most
© Delia Ross. 2019
All these highs, all these lows
Learn to love him, where he goes
Give him patience, room to grow
Love him as he leaves the show
Love the pain that he bestows
Love him while you watch love decompose
Love him as you would the blackest rose
© Delia Ross. 2019
I know not what drives him
How deep his senses swim
Which fear can make him cower
What eats away his hour
From which tear his pain will flower
Who tells him that he matters
How tall I’ll need a ladder
What brings him to his laughter
Who helps him when he’s sadder
Why his eyes pierce deeper than a dagger
How his words can make me stagger
Or why he wears such heavy armor
© Delia Ross. 2019
Give me sin, give me repentance
Whatever your secrets, put them in a pendant
If I falter, hand me my sentence
Will slow crawl to you and ask for forgiveness
Forget the past and live in the present
Live each moment like the world is ending
Let each breath be one that is healing
Kiss me and give me wings for ascending
Promise me you’ll give me arms for defending
I’ll give you as much love you need for your mending
© Delia Ross. 2019
Feeling less alive on a daily basis
My soul desperately searching for an oasis
Going through life cycles with the moon phases
Constantly seeing strangers in all the worst places
Always disappearing without any traces
Having difficulty remembering some of my lovers faces
Moving around the world living on different bases
Placing all my bets without any aces
© Delia Ross. 2019
Bang bang bang bang
Knocking at your door
Rang rang rang rang
To tell you I want more
Sprang sprang sprang sprang
To bring you peace not war
Sang sang sang sang
Love is our mentor
© Delia Ross. 2019
Why does his love for another hurt me
Why does my heart desert me
It’s such an awful discovery
Why am I so unlovely
To everyone unworthy
© Delia Ross. 2019
😔
If you look inside – your words instead of hers – it is there that I lie – I’ve been hiding there this whole time
Long are the days, lost are the words
Vast is the maze, lines all were blurred
Heavy this price pays, mistakes have occurred
Blind was my gaze, faltered and uncured
Hot is my blaze, lessons still are learned
Wishing for sunray’s, or confession preferred
Longing for praise, but only silence is heard
© Delia Ross. 2019
I don’t belong here
Where I was abandoned
I don’t understand
Why I’m left stranded
I have no ransom
That I’ve demanded
I don’t know
What he’s imagined
It’s such a hard landing
I am enchanted
It’s deep like the Grand Canyon
For that I am reprimanded
The moment taken for granted
And now I am saddened
© Delia Ross. 2019
The consequences were dire
Invitations would expire
There was no will to inquire
Or maybe I just don’t inspire
Take my soul out of the mire
Place it back into the fire
Had I known what would transpire
I would have climbed a bit much higher
I would have found a different buyer
I would have worn different attire
There are goods that I aquire
I need a shelter for my desire
© Delia Ross. 2019
Take one leap forward
He falls 80 meters back
Moving with such force
My heart felt the deep impact
I came to offer light
Where I knew that it was black
He messaged to move forward
As a matter of fact
Now I’m getting lost
He is not on the map
My heart can’t proceed
If it’s stuck in a trap
Fears are circling
My mind it cannot snap
I fear if it does
I’ll have a fucking heart attack
© Delia Ross. 2019
He appeared, blue eyes to match his mood
Words delayed but mostly understood
Darkness his dagger and his hood
Carrying a cross longer than one should
And then I followed him, into his alleyway
Despite my better judgment, I followed anyway
Plunged into a world of darkness, it’s been my darkest day
A pool of doubt seems to be the only way
It’s warmer where he does appear, I feel him like a sunray
© Delia Ross. 2019
Is this another conversation we’re never having
Say you’re making changes but you’re always found rewinding
The silence that we share is just another kind of binding
We have the will to search but not the will for ever finding
Everywhere we look there’s just another lie we’re winding
But I don’t need a book to know his words are so spellbinding
© Delia Ross. 2019
In truth, I’d rather cut out my tongue
Remove any curses from within my lung
Be the Earth from which he sprung
The sweet melodies in his afternoon sun
The kisses which make one feel eternally young
The breath for which these words are sung
© Delia Ross. 2019
Treading lightly as a feather
Spiraling any kind of weather
By chance we found a treasure
The love we cannot measure
The Alpha and Omega of pleasure
© Delia Ross. 2019
I’ll hold your hand through the darkness
That’s where I work the hardest
Where broken bones hell harvests
Overcome with the heartless
You’ll find my name on that list
You’ve got my heart in a harness
Attached to your soul that’s a carcass
© Delia Ross. 2019
Shrinking into oblivion
Falling into unknown
Crushing into gravity
Seeking only your throne
© Delia Ross. 2019
Farewell to words we never ever say
Goodbye to truth that never sees the day
So long to lives living only to decay
Goodnight to sin and the price that we pay
© Delia Ross. 2019
Take your absence, take your leave
Drink a bottle, forget about me
Remove my heart from your sleeve
Dig a hole where you can grieve
Place it with a stone
Mark it unknown
That’s where my love has gone
Now you have a home
© Delia Ross. 2019
The streets are empty but the sirens call
It’s a sound that won’t let you down
Comforting; alone or together we fall
Death will be our only crown
Why are we even strangers at all
Bound to shadows and a frown
Why do you always make us crawl
Until we’re all ghost in this town
© Delia Ross. 2019
One day it will be all gone
Every single monument
Every single song
Everything and anything man has ever done
One day it will all be erased
But my love for you can never be replaced

I don’t know the ocean floor
I fear the things down under
Unto it though I do explore
The depths can bring you wonder
I don’t know who you are
But still you bring me thunder
Found you hidden under a star
Afraid the world will plunder
© Delia Ross. 2019
The ghosts in these halls never haunt me
Each memory a prison that will taunt me
Constrained by the pain you have taught me

Hate as a shield
Words as a minefield
Wounds go unhealed
Attacks until you yield
Slowing down will get you killed
Your gravity has been revealed

Coming down from the mountain
Coming down from the pain
Crucified for my laughter
Crucified for your blame
Away from the crowd
Away from the shame
Awake for the moment
Awake the moment you came
© Delia Ross. 2019
I’m told that I have a voice and that I have a name
If you really listen close you can hear your own calling
I’m thinking maybe mine is broke ‘cuz I barely hear a thing
Silence overtook the place where you should have been dwelling
Sometimes your absence is so loud I simply start yelling
© Delia Ross. 2019
I didn’t realize I built these walls so high
I’m so low I never even see sky
My heart is cold, my bones are dry
Received orders never questioning why
I don’t know if there are any doors here
Inside these walls only panic and fear
Are you a key or are you the spear
Are you here to see that I disappear
© Delia Ross. 2019
Ever faithful Lu
Angel of burden
Bearer of truth
Ever watchful eye over you
No mercy here to soothe
An army of darkness
Preying through your youth
Dancing around your pain
Jaded and uncouth
Closer comes the reign
But you haven’t got a clue
You can run towards daylight
He’ll be smiling when you do
© Delia Ross. 2019
I lived, I died, and I didn’t concur a thing
Even love evaded me
When angels fall, they don’t have a wing
But I fell, so I could hear him sing
I broke, for he is a king

Words got my tongue
Down deep they run
Rushing into sun
That’s where you’re from
© Delia Ross. 2019
I saw you in the reflection of my smile; decided to linger around awhile
It’s not the same as living in denial; not by a long-mile

40 years been packing and on the explore
Can hear his cries bounce off the distant shore
Stranded in deserts and pulling on my core
I would go there, if only for the lore
But I would search for forty more
If it meant I’d find his door
© Delia Ross. 2019
I would give you all and not even sweat it
Every single word and not even regret it
I would lose it all so you can net it
There’s space for healing if you let it
