LOOK AT YOU poem I wrote for Leonard Cohen yrs ago




















Look At You


You said you'd never smile again
After surviving the wars of love
Coming out on the other side wounded
And haunted by the ghosts of pain.

Don't look at me, you said, I'm half a man
I'm crippled and scarred
And you are still beautiful
No one can mend me now.

But I didn't listen or take heed to your
Warnings
I loved you till you hated me and loved
Me once again.

Now, look at you, you're laughing
Your scars unseen
Your heart healed
In the patience of my tender hands.

Look at you, my love
My tenacity has worked a miracle
My stubborn hope
Has given you back your smile.
