I held the weight while others wept,
watched love choose someone else.
Buried dreams beside the dead—
and no one even noticed.

Overvallen en bezeten
door bezit en geweten,
't is geweten dat bezitten
gemoederen kan verhitten.

Zou ik mogen weten
waar dit allemaal om draait?
Ik zou niks willen speten,
wil niks verfomfaaid.

We tellen af tot het uur slaat,
tikken uit, kloppen op de mat.
Uiteindelijk is het ook maar dat
en de keuzes van waar je nu staat.
Heb je er wat aan gehad?

De rest is niet belangrijk,
emotie, zo omvangrijk
dat ze naast de kwestie vliegt.
Het ene in slaap gewiegd,
het ander overstijgt
door afkerigheid aaneen gerijgd.

Verwachten doen ons onszelf
verliezen, als we de drang
in onze plaats laten kiezen.

De rest vertelt ons wat we denken,
de context beïnvloedt wat we schenken.
De beleving, de bevlieging, de rust, het sussen,
ze mogen om de beurt mijn kloten kussen.
Soms is de nuance zo ver zoek dat ik het geheel uit het raam zou willen smijten. Gewoon om van het zoeken af te zijn.

Much like you
I feel pain
when I am wounded

I cry
when my heart
shatters quietly

I begin to doubt
when silence
lingers too long

And I light like fire
when I feel
seen by you

because, much like you,
I want to be truly loved
even if it’s the last thing I do.
We carry different sorrows but dream alike

The man takes a drink
And the drink takes a man
Wear your heart on your sleeve…
And let it get *****!

Love fully, but be prepared for heartbreak.
Know that these are the best 
Days of your life; 
they won't last forever,
But the memories leave traces rife.

They will reveal parts
You never knew existed,
Never knew you resisted,
And never knew you needed.

A true friendship is like a mirror
Where you see yourself reflected,
In the gaze of the beloved.
In the winter of
My darkest sadness
A candle glows,
Tiny and so far away.
It gives the darkness
A focal point and I
Struggle my way towards it.

Another candle lights my way.
I don’t know where it came from
But it makes a fearful journey
So much easier to manage,
And I eventually will dance
On thistledown to
The music of the Skylarks
In a sun-filled, cloudless sky.

Working to chase the blues away.
I am alone
Dark is my room
The cockroaches hide
Black roses can’t bloom.
Windows don’t let
Through the sun
In my room
There is no fun.
I think I’m the
Living dead
Stuck in a book
That no one has read.
I am alone
Dark is my room
Serpents and demons
Bring in the doom.
I need light
There is no light
I need love
There is no love
I need
There is no need.

I didn't know you existed
All my life I've been searching for you
Our eyes meeting
Hearts beating

From the first look I loved you
Our souls instantly intertwined
My hand caressing your cheek
Soft touches like how the water caresses the beach

I didn't know you existed
Until I finally found you
No I have not found love, but I hope it feels something like this
