a steady warm air
passing through ones hair
endlessly cool nights
and feelings of fright

the emptiness inside
nowhere to run or hide
overflowing sadness
underlying greatness

hope is nowhere
darkness everywhere
creeping loneliness
masked by happiness

questionable essence
endless existence
ultimately nonsense

Why does this heart hurt so?
When in truth:
Why does my heart hurt for you so?

Why do we live such meaningless lives?
eb Mar 2013
You said, Day by day;
As I said, No matter what;
Could that be just that?
eb Mar 2016
Like this.
Heart that.
Posted for 2 minutes;
I start to count.

Follow me.
Friend me.
More, more, more;
I am addicted.

Tag that.
Snap this.
Number conscious;
I am guilty.

Like me.
Love me.
Me, me, me;
It's all about me.
eb Dec 2013
Just a thought
scares inside
calm outside
What could be?
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 Nov 2015
It is in a crowd

Tiny piercing rain drops
all around. I'm ok. Live not
regretful, but brave --
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
eb Dec 2015
Slowly, I shatter.
Swiftly, I rise.
Someday, I mutter.
Someone, I love.
Time
eb Jun 2014
Overwhelming it is
to read your writing
to peak through your life
to know that your struggles are real

Drowning I am
in tears bursting with the memories of you & I
in blood overflowing from wrists that you used to hold
in thoughts exploding over the letters you wrote

Paralysing it is
to have you near me when I am invisible
to hold you close when I no longer sense touch
to hear you scream my name when I am mute

Losing I am
from battling your past
from listening to what is right
from promising not to want you/*us

Her laugh; lies.

His smile; implies.

boom

Hands held; complies.

She's fine, he says.
everything concealed;
nothing revealed.
This is for trying something new.
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

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

Constant & consistent,

Powerful & persistent,

In my heart,
In my mind,
In my daily life.

There is a burning in my chest I can't contain.
eb Dec 2014
How can this be
the most perfect example
of being alone together?

You'll be alone.
I want to be *together
.
eb Nov 2014
I'm sorry I can't
love you the way
you deserve;
how I want to;
how we need to be.

With all regrets and sincerity,
I scream my pains into a pillow
because I can't
be yours

With all the excuses and the reasons
I remember that I can't
because I can't
be with you
eb Dec 2014

eb Nov 2015
how beautiful
it is to be alone,
on my own,
for i am
complete, wonderful
and without a need
to be loved
by anyone else
because this Light
remains real
especially without you
and your attention;
this is not bitterness,
old friend, it is grattitude
for leaving
and letting go
has been more than
I would have ever planned,
so, let the winds blow you
away, away, away
and the rains
drop, drop, drop
that will lead you
far from me
from us
from those you left
left behind
Remember, you more than enough. Your bubble is all you need.

Phases/Faces of burden
eb Mar 2016
I feel the warm
morning sun;
The water envelopes my ankes -
as each wave melts to the shore, I run.

Towards the open, endless sea
- I surrender.
To her above
or is it below?

Her words echo in the chambers of my soul;
I know that look
- it reaches into me.
Maybe, with her;
Eventually, with her.
eb Dec 2014

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.
eb Nov 2015
Hope fades as he wanders through the trees,
rains trickles down from the branches.
The storm has passed and the fog has risen.
Now everything is clear
And nothing is the way it was.
eb Nov 2014
you: what isn't when there is
i: what is when it isn't


me: who left when there isn't any loss
you: who stayed when too much is lost


her: when will you leave
him: when will you stay


us: how will this end
we: how will it ever begin

how you can let go
of the only happiness
you've ever known
eb Jan 2016
Thank you for letting me
              Go

eb Dec 2014
Calm yourself
its only the beginning
of an adventure that is life.
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?

eb Mar 2016
Show up.
Do something.
Work harder.
Show up.
Make sense.
Matter.
Exist.
Die.
eb Jan 2015
in my memory,
we were infinite; wait-
in that moment,
it was too late.
eb Dec 2014
When I dream about you
do you dream about me?

When I think of you
do you think of me?

When I miss you
do you miss me?

When I loved you
*did you ever love me?
eb Dec 2014
the pitter-patter of raindrops
she is smiling. she doesn't know
tomorrow, the rain ends.
eb Dec 2015
with each breath
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.

Too many feelings.
eb Nov 2014
i panic
seeing you,
hearing your voice,
feeling your touch;
just when i know,
the eyes deceive,
the ears mock,
the heart lies;
because nothing,
nothing is more cruel
than that,
that could have,
that should have,
that would have,
have been;
if only, if only
we waited,
we stayed,
we fought;
but we didn't,
we didn't.
