eb Feb 2014
For all her life eve walked alone
Blindly searching for her home
In darkness she roamed
As daybreak came she moaned

Whizzing, whirring the sounds pass
She wondered how long time will last
Her journey is the destination.

You say you're always left behind.
You say you're the one who works so hard to keep another.
You say you're always the lonely one.

I'm the one who leaves people behind.
I'm the one who takes people for granted.
I've never been the lonely one.

How can I say I'm the right one for you
How can I say I'm here
How can I say that you should be with me

when you don't look at me that way?
when you don't see me in the same light?
when you don't know I exist?

This is a reply to 17-year old you.
This is a reply to the you I never met.
This is a reply to a stranger.
open letter to once an acquaintance, now, a stranger again.
eb Jan 2014
Words left unsaid
thoughts floating overhead.

what isn't when there is
what is when it isn't


Dooms, glooms, buzzing
deadly birds gleefully chirping.

where is when there was
when is when there wasn't


Lost in a maze,
search, stare and gaze.

*no sense, nonsense
present tense, past tense
eb Jan 2014
Dear stranger,
I want to say I like you.
I want to say I like you
like no one I have ever liked before.

Dear stranger,
I want to but I won't.

Dear stranger,
I can't be sure it's you I like
or the thought of you
that just won't leave my mind.

Dear stranger,
I just can't
let myself hurt again
after what she did to me.

Dear stranger,
You & I are
in limbo.

Dear stranger,
You and I are
at different stages in our lives.
And many more excuses
of the impossibility of us.

Dear stranger,
I can't be
just another girl
for you.

Dear stranger,
I won't because I shouldn't

Dear stranger,
I shouldn't
be involved with you
when you just had a break up.

Dear stranger,
I shouldn't
love you this much
when we just met.

Dear stranger,
I shouldn't
feel this way
for another girl.

Dear stranger,
I won't
because you probably
don't know I exist

Dear stranger,
I exist
**I think
Of the many strangers:
each one different,
all the same.
eb Jan 2014
inner circles
Warm nights, Cool covers, serene muscles

outlanders
Cool nights, warm covers, throbbing muscles


your life
clean windows, open doors, soft beds

my life
broken windows, slamming doors, broken beds


possibilities
you, me, apart

*impossibilities
us, we, together
Two people living life through one moment, "what could've been?"
eb Jan 2014
When the tears just keep falling,
What do I do?
When your voice keeps calling,
Can I believe it's true?

When the wind is howling,
Is that you?
When shadows are trailing,
Could it be you?

--
A love ending abruptly.

eb Jan 2014
Feeling the earth moving,
movements of the clock ticking.
Each second a century,
Losing her presence daily.

Seeing voices in the air,
Touching smells everywhere.
Slow and steady she must go,
High and fly like the black crow.

Losing against gravity,
No more Ms. high and mighty.
Jumping up against the walls,
There she falls and falls and falls.

"Is this dying?", she whispers.
Her words floating in the skies.
"What is living?", she wondered.
Her once persistent voice faltered.
