Things that were not supposed to happen,
have happened.

And things that were supposed to,
have not.

And indeed,
such is the way of this world.
William Eberlein Jun 2015
"Give me a minute,
And I will tell you how it ends..."


And he never
came back.

How could I have possibly fallen into love once again, after trying so hard not to?
The fact that I've done this before only strengthens the confusion and anger I feel growing within.
Yet here I am... Telling whispered gossips of nothing to no one.
At this point, I'm more in wonder with my own inability to function, than I am with her smile and her eyes.
I admit that I had once thought myself to be moving slowly, but now I dare not go in any direction, for fear of acting out the history I once so eagerly committed.

Simple as that...
Im as dead as the rat.

Just make it to tomorrow.
So that you can make it to tomorrow.
So that you can make it to tomorrow.
So that you can make it to tomorrow.

This existence is a drug,
And I intend to overdose.

I tell you...

I love your laugh,
and the twinkle in your eyes.

I love your hips,
and the way they sway.

I love your smiles,
and the dimples they leave behind.

I love your hair,
and the way it flows down your back.

I love your voice,
and how it soothes my mind.

I love your eyes,
and all the subtle colors within.

I love everything about you,
and anything that you could ever be.

I tell you...

I love you
and all that you are.

I tripped over my heart,
and fell into you...

****!

Now what do I do?

Where the rain
Splits in two
Just to hit you twice.
William Eberlein Feb 2015
I see your palm outstretched
Awaiting and expecting my own.
So I reach out my hand
Only to discover,
That time itself has stopped.
Yet even so, I press onward
To push my mind and body
Through all seasons,
And every weather.
And as my hand touches yours...
An electric current stops my heart.

And then you turn to look at me.

And I'm okay again.

Same as I was
When I died,
Just a moment ago.
William Eberlein May 2016
Innocent eyes staring back at me and my guilty filthy soul.

So mucked up and even deeper a grit I feel, for tainting such a starfull sky beyond which all trains traverse.

Leave me behind,
In the dirt I prefer.

So that I may sow my seeds for yet another blackened blend of months and grow them into years...

All the same.

All in a row.
William Eberlein Feb 2013
Talk to me,
for I am alone.

Take my hand,
for I am lonely.

Promise me,
for I am scared.

Hold me,
for I am fading.

Bury me,
for I have gone cold.

If I keep running,
will I reach my destination?

If I sit here and wait,
will it come to me?

If I stop all-together,
will it bounce back like a boomerang?

And what if I ignore it...

Will it finally let me sleep?
William Eberlein Feb 2013
I love her.

Basic in it's being.
As such is the keeping of it.

A thesis to the "ins" and "outs."
The "ups" and "downs."
The "all abouts."

An equation of this and that.
In direct proportion to the simplicity of directional momentum...

So do we conclude,
equal complexity
to that which was not spoken.

To that which was kept.

Only relenting to a factor of time.

From which
the variable of existence
can evolve itself.

In and of itself.
William Eberlein Mar 2013
Imagining us together...

Holding hands and exchanging vows.

Kissing and consummating.

To passionately conceive.
And to birth a passion.

To raise it,
and love it,
and watch it grow.

For us as well...
To grow old,
and love one another all the same.

And in it's own time,
to die at your side.

But for all it's worth,
to live a life worth living,
with you.

Yes, indeed.
Imagining us together...
It does not scare me.

Not one bit.

Not when I look at you.
