Received an email from Lovertje,
In it was a simple Thank you
But for me it was
the most human thing to do
Yesterday I came across a poem of her,
Telling about a storm
Mixed feelings, anger, hurt,
Grief, pain, cold and warm
Curious as I am,
started looking for more work of her
But the things I found were
Most of the time dark,
Made my thoughts stir
I can understand your feelings,
I wanna help you, but yet
Your light is fading from time to time,
Getting a bit flat
I think that when her loved ones need her,
She will always be there
But now, her light is fading,
Noticable for me, cause I care

If I had a reputation of being a man
With a gift of words
Lines of comfort were now flowing
Towards you like flying birds
I have written many poems,
But never in a way
That you won’t consider
To be an old cliché
Words like: Hang in there,
Keep the faith, Chin up my dear
But I know that life is a bitch,
Sometimes a bitch to fear

You’re looking around and remembering
Things that hurt you the most
Strange hands to your body,
Violation, darkness, every woman’s ghost
You’re trying your best,
But it has not happened yet
Dark thoughts are spinning around in your head
Don’t be ashamed or shy to me,
I know you too well
This poem is ment for you
So that you can tell
That even in doubt of fear or not understood
You have a friend here who you can tell,
That is good

Dearest Lovertje, don’t let your thoughts get to you
Cause even in the hardest of times there is something you can do!
I’m there for you to listen, isn’t that smart?
Cause when your light is fading, girl, it breaks my heart!
