To a new Hallelujah

I got this idea from a friend to add new personal verses to the song Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen, and I very much encourage others to try this. So far, I've only got the one verse, but I'm trying for more.

Every time we say goodbye
I notice something in your eyes
No longer do I know just how to read you
I've tried so many times before
But every time you leave some more
So in my fright I pray for Hallelujah

Plea of fate

I, I remember, the sting of your words
And I, I remember, the sorrow in your eyes
When you said 'This must end', So I prayed that you
would undo the damage you...caused

I'm not made for you
Your not made for me
This is not our fate
We're not meant to be
We were torn apart
From our summer days
When the winds of life,
Swept us away...

I, I remember, sitting alone on our bench
And I, I remember loosing that skip in my step
'Cause I can't go back, no I can't go back
No I can't go back, no I can't go back

[I remember the doubt in my heart
When I swore I saw your figure coming
I thought it a dream, just a trick of the mind
Killing in time
_
But the gods had granted me hope
Because that figure was truly...you
Saying my own life is not what I long for,
I long for you.]

I, I remember, how the leaves fell from the trees
And I, I remember, when you came back to me
The sun was shining so bright on that day
And oh, how your eyes met mine that way

And I was made for you
You were made for me
This is our fate
we are meant to be
It doesn't matter what
Comes in our days ahead
We will stay always
Until the end.

Just let your words hold me.

I recently discovered this song. I listened to it over and over again, using it as white noise. And after a while...I don't know, something just happened, took over my spirit, my meaning, my mind and I believe on some level reunited me with my creator. I know it sounds a bit extreme to say that a single song, a melody made up of the same notes and rhymes as so many years have birthed, but still. It. Just. Is. I wish I could explain this better, but... wow is all i can say; a feeling of serenity and overwhelming becomes of me.




Someday, I will find you alas...

Coward

ok...working progress on the title, but im so very open to suggestions. Enjoy.

Maybe I'm a coward, maybe I'm an outsider
I just cant give up and I refuse to give in
Maybe I don’t hate you, maybe I find you handsome and smart
But I'm too scared to let myself be happy
Maybe I don’t want to risk the chance of being a broken old toy
And being thrown away when you’ve had your fun
Maybe I'm an actor, maybe i just perform at my cue
Maybe I don’t feel like being original
Maybe IMO just cliche, maybe I just want to play
The role of Juliet, but not just yet
Maybe I could be some little girl
With little curls over my eyes
And prance around in my big girl shoes, in circles
Maybe I could be a mother
And have a sweet daughter
How I’d love her so and never let her go
Maybe I'm not perfect, maybe I don’t want to be
Maybe I just feel like being the silly one
Maybe I’ll just let loose, I’ll just fly
And never come back, just soar high and high
Maybe I'm an angel, sent here by God
To serve out his mission, and play out his role
Maybe we could compromise, settle out our difference
Say that its OK, I forgive you, I'm sry, don’t go
Maybe life is different; I’ve just lost my hope in humanity
I'm a baby, barely a child to the world Opening my eyes
Maybe I am too late Maybe this was a mistake,
Maybe I should just shut up right now And play your perfect maid.
Maybe this is heaven, maybe this is hell
Tell me am I lost or m I found Cuz I can’t tell
Maybe I'm a sucker for a good old fashioned romance
where the guy takes the girl, and holds her hostage until she says
Maybe I could love you
Maybe its not too late
Maybe you were right the whole time
And yes I’ll say “I do”


I want to hold your hand; no I’m not fine with just being friends
I want to hold you and tell you I love you I love you I love you
Over again


Am I too late?
Have you flown away
Did I let you out too early
Did I not show you enough

Maybe I should write darker
Maybe I should sing louder
Will more poems and love songs be a cure?
Maybe if I just love you, an unconditional thing
If I wish rally hard, and pray really hard
It will come true
I hope to hear you say
That you love me too
