My Time by Leonard Cohen
This is from Leonard Cohen’s Book of Longing, sent to me by the lovely Katie.
My Time
By Leonard Cohen
My time is running out
and still
I have not sung
the true song
the great song
I admit
that I seem
to have lost my courage
a glance at the mirror
a glimpse into my heart
makes me want
to shut up forever
so why do you lean me here
Lord of my life
lean me at this table
in the middle of the night
wondering
how to be beautiful
