Another night away from home
Another castle with walls all built
Another mortgage paid with guilt
Another moment with sorrows drowned
Another glass, another frown
Another forgotten "I love you"

| We were just lying on the floor
Waiting for the laziness to lift
And a strange peacefulness gnawed
At the frayed ends of my sinful body
I wept and went outside because
I did not want you to see my blue eyes

| Waking from insomnia
I rise to meet the day -
Smoking cigarettes in front of a piano
Not knowing what to play
That won't remind me of you.
I breathe your eyes with every breath
Your voice hums every tune;
I sought your hands... |

Every breath I take's abbreviated
Every movement is immoral. ... |

A national tourist attraction,
Because nowhere else will you find a circus
Twenty-four hours in action. ... |

I come to you with my wounded heart and
My blood-stained knife.
I come to you to find redemption
I come to you to claim love.

You clean and dress m... |

She stepped into the morning. The sun slanting through the windowblinded her with its hot brightness. She breathed in deeply –expanding the tight band around her chest. Her movements werelazy and fortuitous. She lathered up her hair; the scen... |

| I wrote you a letter, Love.
I wrote about my French classes
And library passes.
I wrote about cold mornings I awoke
In the absence of the words you spoke.
I wrote about how I left hom
To dwell the winding streets of Rome,
And enclosed a pictur... |

| I wish that I could sculpt your hands
To cup my face, in clay,
And hold me close when I'm alone
Because you could not stay.
But I'm a writer, not a sculptor...

To keep watch over me

|
| You stare at me -
We are alike in apathy,
But opposed in love.
You've tasted my salty tears;
I've rinsed the stains yours left on my heart.
We are freedom fighters -
For the right and good
But my mind is not right
And your heart is ... |

| Leonard Cohen sings inside my head
As I roll over in a stranger's bed.
He tangles his fingers in my hair
And queries if my thoughts are there.
But they are not; they are with you -
Drowning in your eyes of blue. ... |

I've seen you cry
I know the sadness of goodbye
I animate my breath to yours
I never contemplate remorse ... |

To love again.
You are my headrush and hangover;

My guardian, my incomprehension,
My hearteach and my sorrow...
And if these lungs don't breathe tomorrow,

| I sever my sanity
And contemplate my pain;
I meditate my mantra -
I meditate your name.
I carve your face into my dreams;
I play immortal fool.
I wake in mental absence;
I'm governed by your rule. ... |

While your flattery filled my veins -
Pulsing through my body,
Leaving my head dizzy,
My world is spinning...
Love is a war
And I'm not winning. ... |

I analysed the altitude of your every breath
Before I went to the kitchen.
I could see your slumbering body from where I stood
While I calculated my objectivity,
And persuaded myself that this vacuum ... |

| I should have killed you
When the opportunity revealed itself.
I would remain untouchable
Even by your eyes, so blue
And still be in perfect mental health.
I should have kissed you
When I promised to.

Hope rising, then falling in my mind.
Thanks for the effort - you're very kind,
But leave me know - you've done your best. ... |

Then send me Leonard Cohen songs
