[net.poems] The ever-depressing Leonard Cohen

I tried to leave you
I can't deny
I closed the book on us at least a hundred times

I wake up every morning
By your side

The years go by
You lose your pride
The baby's crying so you do not go outside
And all your work
It's right before your eyes

Goodnight my darling
I hope you're satisfied
The bed is kind of narrow
But my arms are open wide
And here's a man still working
For your smile

	-- Leonard Cohen
