Heavy tears break free
Breaking the mirror of the sea
The full moonlight on her face
Makes her shine in the darkened space

She kneels down upon a stone
Alone, while i whisper in a tone
But how can she hear these words
Without a breeze to stir the birds?

A storm without gusts of wind
Thunder without lightning, pinned
Creates unrest from the outside
But it's inside, where the storms collide

Like a sower of the dead
He brings cold and scatters dread
Sowing it over her fiery heart
Quenching it and tearing her apart

For a heart without fire
Will never thaw the frozen mire
An altered version of a poem that i wrote in dutch ("Doof Vuur").
in dutch, "doof(deaf)" can also mean "extinguish".
i love double entendres!
I don't know what it is,
or why I feel this way.
I yearned for love for so long,
yet nothing worked out.
But maybe, just maybe,
we can make it work together.
Not just from our love for each other,
but from our pain too.

he told me his sister tried to die,
and i sat there, silent,
holding my own secret like a stone
in my throat,
wishing i could tell him
but terrified he’d hate me for it.

When did the sun start setting,
Before 5:50 at night?
Missing the sun right now.

I'm not hurt
Because of what you did

I'm hurt
Because you didn't tell me
