Maarten Brinkerink

Your life is at a crossing,
when she pulls you by the arm.
But the heart is so filled with desire,
for some uncertainty.
You suddenly feel selfish,
because she never meant you harm.
But the heart is so filled with desire,
for some uncertainty.

What’s out there might be just a shadow,
no justification to risk it all.
And there’s only one way to find out,
but finding out = risking it all.

So long,
you’ve tried,
to block it all out.
But then,
decide,
to move on.

You’ve found out that it’s just a concept,
no good explanation to leave it all.
But there’s only one way to find out,
but finding out = leaving it all.

A new horizon lies ahead.
It takes away your breath.
The beauty that you’ll leave behind,
is never yours again.

As you gasp for some oxygen,
your head is spinning still.
Uncertain where to go from here,
you take the helping hands she offers:

“Take both my hands.
And step into the water.
Let’s cleanse your mind,
to make room for another dream.”

Almost 500 miles from home,
and still it seems so near.
Bittersweet memories haunt your mind.
You’re about to return.
Then she says:

“I know the water is cold,
but you have to remember,
why you had to leave us.

I wasn’t made for waging war
Never meant to close that door
Never thought that you would stand next to me
Never thought that this could happen
To be here with you
And the difference is that I am not alone

But now I’m not too sure of myself
Again
One chance to say:
“Whatever”
To be here you

I always fall for al your tricks
Time after time
It makes me sick
Never thought that it was right next to me
Never thought that this could happen
To be here with you
But the difference is that I am not alone

I trusted you above all

As I await your choice
You are portraying both our goals
A sign
A seamless broken hart
As I await and want to know your choice
That’s where you leave me
This is the day
I will look back on
To regret
Because now you’re gone
Right at the door
You took it all away
I’m stuck at the door
Forever

Our thoughts are far too different
The lies
Ever again
Our thoughts are far too different

How long have we been here?
Our bond will stand the test of time
Until we never fight again
