.. so i’ll just store my essay here:
———————————————————
Love is a fist.

Love will beat the shit out of you.
So just bite your lips and close your eyes.

After a few beatings you may get back to yourself again… only to realise that you are in the stranglehold of love. Do not panic, it will only make things worse. Don’t try to shake loose, you will only suffocate.

Prepare for a lifetime of harsh realities and broken trust. Popularity contests and hollow handshakes. Brace yourself for a dive into dark, thick smoke. Make yourself ready for the iron lung.

I strike the match to light the fuse. Now it’s burning in your head.

Hear the sirens screaming. Used to be a happy song.

Love is a ship that is going down, and you’ll go down with it.

You may claim you’re not in love, but I see the bruises in your face.

Verliefdheid is een gebalde vuist.

Verliefdheid ’will beat the shit out of you.’
Zo bijt jouw lippen en sluit jouw oogen.

Na ’a few beatings’ komt je misschien terug naar jezelf opnieuw…aleen te inzien dat je bent in de wurggreep van lief. Panieker niet, dat maakt het aleen erger. Proeber niet los te schudden, je zou aleen gewurgt worden.

Voorbereid je voor en levensloop van harde werkelijkheiden en gebroken vertrouwen. Populariteit-wedstrijds en oppervlakkinge handdruk. Vastgespen jezelf voor een duik binnenin dikke, donkere rook. Breng jezelf in gereedheid voor de ’iron lung/jernlunge’.

Ik ’strike’ de lucifer om de lont te aansteken. Nu verbrandt het in je hoofd.

Hoor de sirenes schreeuwen. Plegde te zijn een vrolijk lied…

Verliefdheid is een schip dat zinkt, en jou gaat beneden met het.

Je mag stellen dat je niet verliefd bent, maar ik zie de litteken in jouw gezicht.

Quite possibly.

The detective known as H strikes again.

EDIT: I don’t think you’ve played detective before…but let’s just go with it. :)

Hmmm… Didn’t i post this in the test forum…?

Anyhow.. It’s an ‘piece/essay/eulogy’ for my dutch lessons. Since I am not very fluent in dutch, i wrote it in english first.. then I “tried” to translate.

Btw. any dutch members here are encouraged to tell me how to translate “beat the shit out of” or “iron lung”. :p

I thought it was a poem really! But it also sounds a lot like every I Ching I ever threw :(
