Deze gaan veelal over liefde, verdriet, hoop en andere dingen die hem bezighouden.
Sommige gedichten moeten u aan het denken zetten, maar in de meeste moet u zich in kunnen leven.

Take Me Home

I’m taking a walk down memory lane.
I stop at the memories of you healing my pain.
The first time we went on a date all I wanted was to stay together.
But I didn’t know back then that nothing stays gold forever.

As I went to school somewhere else we started to see each other less.
The distance sure as hell put the both of us to the test.
At first we succeeded but things slowly changed.
As I stopped speaking to you almost every single day.

The summer nights where we’d chat ‘till we couldn’t stay awake.
The times when we got to know each other while nothing was at stake.
All the times I fell asleep while waiting for a response from your side.
Only to wake up to a message from you that made me shine.

The more we talked the happier you made me feel.
You even made me wonder if the pain of the past was real.
I thought we were getting somewhere, but we never got far .
If only I’d known back then that you’d leave another scar.

Back then, when the sun shone bright,
and everything between us seemed all right.
But I was afraid that everything would drown.
Even before the rain started cascading down.

But then all of the sudden a flood came.
A tidal wave that took everything away.
Everything we’d built turned to rubble.
But I wasn’t ready to give up on this struggle.

But whatever we had, now we’re drowning it fast.
Almost time, almost time to let go.
Starving flames, dying light, at last.
Sitting here with the remainders, all alone.

Why did you make me feel this way?
Will we meet again someday?
Why do I always end up alone?
Somebody please…
…Take me home.
