The Last Flower

There you are
Surrounded bij darkness
There is nothing but the cold
Except for a shining wand
That you so desperately seem to hold..

Enchanting girl
Walk away from your column
Step into the light of the moon
Let the trees lead you to your path
So you can show it to others soon..

There is still hope left
The white flower shows it all
Keep it save, so everyone will know
That this is not the end
More will grow..

Inside

Some tears in my eyes
Is not what I seek
That feeling rips me in half
It's making me weak..

Some blood on my wrist
Is all that remains
Drop by drop they show my past
My life in chains..

Some pain in my heart
Is all that I will hide
I will keep my dignity
But it's breaking me inside..

Fairytales Become Reality

It all happens in your dreams, you know
Fairytales become true
You never believed me, but I told you so
And now you finally do..

He was waiting for you to come
He waited a long time under the oldest tree
And when you came you lighted up his life
His girl is all you needed to be..

He took you in his arms
And gave you a rose so red
He never wanted to let go
But not everything had been said..

Something is not right
There is this feeling it can't be real
You will wake up in a minut
I can understand how you both must feel..

That dream is gone now
Because you lie awake on your pillow
But there lies a red rose next to you
You smile and think about your prince under the willow...

The End..

My Nightmare

I wake up
There is nothing but silence
My heart is aching
Am I a victim of violence?

Trapped in a cage
There is nothing but hate
I can't let myself out
You are the hunter, I'm the bait

Closing in on me
There is nothing but pain
You have broken my spirit
Driven me insane

Happy now?..

A Painful Sin

The first night was the worst
She cried in her sleep and said
"May my life be full of sin, so I can begin
My destruction that ends with death"..

The next morning followed
And by the time she woke up
Her heart was breaking, while she started making
Some poison in a beautiful cup..

When darkness fell upon her smile
She knew she had to lie
And he didn't believe, that he had to leave
Without ever saying goodbye..

While he drank the last drop
He felt his soul was pulling away
So he said to her "Dear, please do not fear
We will see eachother again today"..

It turned out that he was right
As she crawled away next to her love
She was full of grieve, so she had to leave
With her man to the heavens above..

Salvation

In the darkening night I show myself
In the morning breeze I hide
Everything in between is dark and lonely
I can't change it,
not even if I tried..

The long nights I got so used to,
don't even feel the same
A tear is falling from my shadowed eye
I really do understand,
that everything is a lie..

Because when the morning appears again
And dawn fights it's way through the cold
I lie here in my silent room
No one left to hold..

My heart is longing for salvation
No longer worried what daylight will bring
So I embrace my destiny with a smile
And think 'one day my heart will sing'...

Reflection

Little girl
Don't you know?
That the strength inside
will only grow
If you no longer hide

Behind all those lies..

I know you cried
So many nights
you wished you were gone
No longer caring anymore
You never won

The battle inside yourself..

And now we are standing here
As one
No reason to fear
Because I just realized
as my eyes turn wet
It's my own reflection

It's me I'm looking at..

One last time

One last time you looked at me
A look full of remorse

One last time you walked my side
That side will never be yours

One last time you touched me
That touch, so cold

One last time I want you near me
To have but not to hold

Forever shall I cry for you
A cry with tears so dark

Forever shall I wait for you
Wait to regain that spark

A spark that was ours
A spark that is no more..

This Secret

The days of spring
So easily forgotten
Lost memories
Forever untold..

Wishing for a world
So peaceful and lonely
Never more
they will haunt me..

Can you tell me how it all ends?
This unfortunate fairytale..
Lie to me
Say everything will be fine..

The days of spring
So cold and beautiful
Don't ever tell
Forever keep my secret..

You

It's so warm
A delightful feeling
It's so lovely
So appealing....

Can you take me with you?
To this place
And make love to me
Till the end of days?

When we arrive there
Will you still haunt me
Because it's the beast inside
That I want to see....

The screams are silent now
It's no longer around
Like a deadly forest
My magics have been bound...

Your arms around me
Isn't all that much to ask right?
That embrace forever
We both touch that light...

It is beneath us you know?
Love is..
I want to be close to you
Every night I make that wish....

In my dreams you are here
By my side
Longing, holding, loving me
To show it all, to be my guide....

It's so hot
A delightful feeling
It's so wonderful
So appealing....

You......

Fighters

At times that the earth was shaking
And you didn't know what to do
You weren't afraid
Because he would come to you

He stood by your side
Trying not to bite
And after the blood was spilled
He used to kiss you goodnight

But not anymore
A stupid mistake took him away
Now it's time to be afraid
Because he will come for you one day

It's time to say goodbye
And show him what you are
You are a killer, a fighter
Making yourself ready for this war

You know it won't be easy
It will be the hardest thing you will ever do
But once it's over with
He has given his life to you

So touch him one last time
Because your hearts used to dance
And then stab a sward through his heart
Do not cry Goldylocks, it will all make sense

Some day..

Angel

With your black wings you came down from heaven
Touched my life
A friendship that won't be forgotten, never
That will be treasured through time
I will hold on to that friendship forever..

With your beautiful smile you touched my heart
Entered my soul
That loving smile of yours won't be forgotten, never
It carried me through pain and sorrow
So I will hold on to that smile forever..

With your compassion you showed it all
Gave our bond meaning
That big heart of yours won't be forgotten, never
It is everything a friend could wish for
My love for you carries on forever..

I love you
Every day
And twice on Sundays..

Life in all it's Glory

A little green leaf
Left the safety of it's tree
Swept away by the wind
Who carried it for miles
Free is what it wanted to be..

A little green leaf
Dancing in the sky
Swept away by the storm
Who brought it towards me
So I could see it fly..

A little green leaf
The wind takes it away from me
Swept away by Mother Nature
Who will return the little leaf
Back to the safety of it's tree..

A little green leaf
Found shalter under it's lifegiver
No longer swept away by the wind
That little leaf is happy now
So I walk away and shiver..

Knowing that this is life
In all his glory..
