you're safe inside me
said the house
no matter you're alone
i'm gonna take care of you

don't mind thunder or hail
rain or sunshine
wind or mist
i'll be around you

i trusted the house
and i figured
i was really safe
this time

but the storm said
i am angry enough to destroy something big
and if you're even kind of happy
i really can't stand you

so the storm blew
and the house tried
but wasn't strong enough
couldn't keep his promise

so i stand alone again
facing the left-overs of my house
and i can't stop wondering
was i wrong to trust it?

the princess
fell asleep
and dreamed about a prince
who saved her.

the prince
was asleep too
and dreamed about
saving a maiden

hold me
i know you're just as gay as i am
and i know we're both so capable of extreme passion

but first
i need you to tell me it's not sin
i need God to be okay with us

and then please
tell my mother how great you are
and tell my church to still like me

i need you to do all that within the next 60 seconds
and then hold me
and never let go

one word
to describe
everything inside me

one word
to show you my heart

how could i ever?
what word would i use?

secret

desire

lonely

poetic

heartbeating

alife

but all these things i'm not
and all these words are just
denying who i am

friend
my dearest
did you ever know
i was in love with you?

friend
my dearest
i never told you
about my desire

friend
my dearest
you never know
*** much i needed you

friend
my dearest
i'm very glad
we are just friends

beautiful
imperfect
i can list a thousand things
that i've done wrong

beautiful
so guilty
there's blackness inside
my heart

beautiful
so tired
strugling to stay alife

beautiful
forgiven
today Christ makes a new start with me

she held her in her arms
two lesbians
finally excepting who they are
finally embracing the love of their lives

ignore the city
with it's angry mob just outside the door
their torches won't burn forever
it's gonna rain, you know

ignore their parents
not giving their daughters away
that just means:
more weddingcake for me

ignore their collegues
jokes aren't funny anyway
and who needs company
during lunch?

two lesbians
madly in love
ignoring the world
as their only option

The yellow streetlight
the skinny girl, fear in her eyes
the man who holds her,
the grip on her wrist

the silent sigh
the unsaid words
and then: a whisper
'i just tried to be myself...'

you want to know why i've been so unhappy? said the flower to the tree
the tree just nodded
he didn't understand the feeling
he could view the whole country,
his branches seemed to touch the sky
and he was always as strong as his own roots..

but the flower intrigued him
the flower that always seemed to be crying
but appeared to be so much smarter then him
the flower was the reason the tree sometimes worried his life wasn't as simple as he thought it was
but whenever he asked, the flower just looked at him
with such sad eyes the tree melted

the flower sighed once, but then stayed quiet
he knew he couldn't share its feelings
the intensity of the emotion would break the tree
he would tremble and then fall and probaly crush the flower while hitting the ground
the flower always knew that while it appeared otherwise, he was the strongest of the two
he was the only one to be able to bear the unbearable

and knowing this made him smile

vlinder....
*** lang blijf jij nog
vleugellam?

vlinder...
weet je dat het lente is?
je zou nu weer moeten vliegen
bloemen en zon

vlinder...
ik weet dat het niet kan
maar zou het willen
het maakt me moe zo verslagen te zijn

vlinder...
je zult een tijdje moeten wachten
dit is jouw lente niet
en niet jouw jaar

vlinder,
wacht maar!
volgend jaar ben ik hier nog
en dan gaan jij en ik samen
vliegen!
