Liefste opa

Liefste opa,

Op 7 december bleef de tijd even stilstaan
toen ben je stilletjes van ons heengegaan
de herinneringen aan jou zijn gebleven
ze staan in ons hart geschreven

ik denk vooral aan je lach
en je grijze haren
aan je middagdutjes
en hoe we je dan plaagden

met vier kleinkinderen had je wel je werk
liefste opa, jij was ZO sterk
jij en oma hebben heel goed voor ons gezorgd
dankzij jullie kwamen wij niets tekort

ik bedank je voor alles
en zoveel meer...

rust nu maar zacht
ik droog mijn tranen met het gedacht
dat je vredig bent gestorven
en in liefde bent geborgen

Dromer

Je bent wakker
wanneer je slaapt
holt haastig
door de bochten van je bed
op zoek
naar dat ene plekje
RUST

Between yawning and crying

I should by happy
but I am crying
Not because I am sad
but oh so very tired

Because I have to let things go
instead of holding on with both hands
It may not seem that hard
but please do understand

My eyelids are so heavy
that there is no way to lift them up
Not that I do not want to
It is my brain that is so fucked up

See, some pieces and bits are missing
deep down in my gray malleable matter
Well that is what I made up of it
since it started to shatter

It has been that way for a few years now
and accepting will take forever
That is a long time, you know
But in the end it is worth the endeavour

They always told me I was a fighter
and I will not let my head hang low
When IH hits me in the face like thunder...
well sit back and enjoy the show

Verbondenheid

Hello stranger.

Guilt.
It swells up when I think about the times we would say "I'd never leave you. We will always be best friends."
Because here I am, a few years later, breaking a promise.
We aren't best friends anymore. We aren't even friends. We're just knowledges.

It hurts.
It hurts when I think of all the good times we shared, all the fun we had, all the times when you dried my tears and lent your shoulder to cry on.
And I am crying but your shoulder isn't there anymore. I wish I could tell you how I feel right now.

Remember.
Remember when we were young and wild? When we laughed about the most stupid things?
Remember doing all those things together?
Remember me?

I hope.
I hope you haven't forgotten all about me.
I hope I still have a place in your heart because you still have a place in mine.
I just f*cking hope we could go back to being friends, being best friends.
