LEONARD COHEN WANNABE

I wish I could turn my love into music

that would be the most beautiful song ever made

but as soon as my fingers lands on keys

they become too heavy to move

all I can do is write but my words are

never good enough not beautiful enough

I can't come up with a good metaphor

something that would melt the hearts made of stone

I wish I could make everyone cry

and longing for a love like ours

but that's beyond my power beyond my skills

I was born on the day of Leonard Cohen's 

58th birthday but don't even have a bit of his gift

the way he wrote about love was something else

something I aspired to but could never reach that level

and I probably never will but I'll do my best

to tell the world how much you mean to me 

in my own simple words
