Why do we live such meaningless lives?
531 · Apr 2016
It's not you
eb Apr 2016
but the idea of you
I love, *I think
519 · Dec 2014
Memory: 0921

i really did love you
but you were an addict


and i am more than a cure

but life doesn't work that way
especially when you lost your love today.

Nice
eb Apr 2014
a verb
a lie
a figment of the truth

an excuse to make face
an unacceptable character
an immovable force

not me
not you
no one
What is nice anyway?
eb Nov 2015
You are poetry to hold,
as bright as the moon above,
with every drip, a drop
until it sinks in...love.

missed connections
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?"
476 · Nov 2015
t i d e s
eb Nov 2015
Do these waters inside move like tides in the ocean?
Constantly pushing, pulling with the moon;
Does it rise? Does it fall? Does it matter where I crawl?
Something strange, strong answers beyond the commune.
Seek beyond those you know and remember, we are all human with 75% water.

lapses
eb Oct 2015

the seas are full
of memories
long forgotten

when all I need
is for you to
**listen
451 · Sep 2014
Stagnant
eb Sep 2014
in a pervasive feeling of drift.
445 · Sep 2017
Tear/s
eb Sep 2017
fall endlessly like raindrops to the ocean;
Like little soldiers, one after the other,
They fall just as the enemy targets them.

Why am I here?
Why do I tell you this?
Why do these fall in my face when my insides feel nothing?

Then again, what is a smile with happiness in it?

eb Feb 2016
Slow* down

Abrupt rambles
eb Mar 2013
Am I ready to feel the way you used to feel?
Am I ready to hear those words out of you?
Am I ready to see how you saw him?

Not now
Never
No

But I have to try
But I have to listen
And I have to accept the *past
440 · Dec 2013
why rhyme
eb Dec 2013
hope in my skin
sadness within
steps i hear
echoing here

words of positivity
growing in intensity
tension i feel
nothing is real

silence all around
screaming but sound
"you are beautiful"
"we were wonderful"

everything is creeping
ring ring ring
she is gone
there was none
438 · Oct 2015
stirring strong
eb Oct 2015

deeper and deeper,

it sinks without a sound

while the silence grows louder.

stirring strong

wandering weak

a/ir
eb Sep 2017
Pa/in

Can’t be seen,
Can’t be touched,
Can’t be smelled,
But it is there

Constant & consistent,
it grows.
Powerful & persistent,
it revels.

is everywhere:
In my heart,
In my mind,
In my daily life.

takes over life,
takes over people,
demands death,
demands people.

depth
eb Jan 2015
in my memory,
we were infinite; wait-
in that moment,
it was too late.
eb Feb 2015
Before:
Let's do this.

During:
1. I am selfish, I say, sometimes.
2. Cake is not enough, I must have tea too.
3. Books pile up on the shelves still not plenty enough.
4. Its me, sitting on the porch
5. The waves, crashing in, but I'm not by the sea

After:
Let's never see each other again.

reply
eb Jan 2014
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.

her journey
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.

floating, floating
away from you.

the wind howling,
and i am rising.
flying, flying
towards you.

and i am shimmering.

along with the morning dew.

the tears are flowing
and the rain is pouring.
dripping, dropping
losing you.

Of the cat & the box
eb Feb 2014
I'm the cat inside the box.
I don't know what the world outside is
I'm trapped in my box
Rescue me

I'm the silenced voice
I'm stuck knowing nothing beyond these walls
With the square and the monotone
Hear me

I'm you
I fear the box
I fear the cat
Fear me

eb Sep 2014
If love is not ***,

379 · Nov 2015
I am We
eb Nov 2015
We are creatures,
we are created,
we are creators.

We are chaos emodied,
change in form,
curiosity with compassion

We are everything,
we are nothing,
we are surviving.

We are over,
gone before dawn,
emptied and spilled.

We are time,
we are change,
we are moving.

We are more;
better than the good,
exactly where we ought to be.

all the dictionaries in the library

nothing two you
eb Mar 2013
For you, I'll write every word
Listen to songs you've heard

With you, I could close my eyes
Forgave all the schemes and lies


For you, I'll battle the undead
Take precaution of your head

Beside you, I learned to cry
For nothing was perfect in this life


For you, I'll get up from bed
Make sure you're always fed

With this, I wish for nothing
*as I dreamed of everything
334 · Dec 2013

eb Dec 2013
Out of breathe by the bed,
Too many thoughts in my head.
Strange voices all around,
Above all silence is sound.

Making a list of all the ways,
I'm giving it a few more days.
But to say goodbye,
How could I?

But I really want to go

Dear M,
eb May 2014
You are sunrise,
I am sunset.
You are the earth,
I am the waves.

Giving hope to others;
You listen and find goodness in them.
Letting others go;
I build walls and push people away.

You’ve always been the better one;
I’ve always been the dark shadow.
You were light;
I was darkness.

You are gone;
I’m here.
Why’d you leave?
Why’d I stay?
For a friend
