I Am Dying by Leonard Cohen

T.

Well, to hell with all that, really. I go when I please, and never before.

I Am Dying

Leonard Cohen

I am dying

because you have not

died for me

and the world

still loves you.

I write this because I know

that your kisses

are born blind

on the songs that touch you.

I don’t want a purpose

in your life

I want to be lost among

your thoughts

the way you listen to New York City

when you fall asleep.
