(no subject)
This will be my last LiveJournal entry for a while. I may continue on this later on or find a new place to express myself but since nobody reads this anymore (and who can blame them?) I will close it down for now and leave my entries as they stand, chronicalling five years of my decline and fall, when I thought maybe I had some great things to say but realized that I don't know how to say them. I can't go on about my problems and negativity forever.
I will close with lyrics of my favorite Leonard Cohen song. I dedicate this to my friend Kathy whom I lost to cancer in 2003, who introduced me to Little Egypt and also to Leonard Cohen's work.
Come over to the window, my little darling,
I'd like to try to read your palm.
I used to think I was some kind of Gypsy boy
before I let you take me home.
Now so long, Marianne, it's time that we began
to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again.
Well you know that I love to live with you,
but you make me forget so very much.
I forget to pray for the angels
and then the angels forget to pray for us.
Oh so long, Marianne, it's time that we began
to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again.
We met when we were almost young
deep in the green lilac park.
You held on to me like I was a crucifix,
as we went kneeling through the dark.
Oh so long, Marianne, it's time that we began
to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again.
Your letters they all say that you're beside me now.
Then why do I feel alone?
I'm standing on a ledge and your fine spider web
is fastening my ankle to a stone.
Now so long, Marianne, it's time that we began
to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again.
For now I need your hidden love.
I'm cold as a new razor blade.
You left when I told you I was curious,
I never said that I was brave.
Oh so long, Marianne, it's time that we began
to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again.
Oh, you are really such a pretty one.
I see you've gone and changed your name again.
And just when I climbed this whole mountainside,
to wash my eyelids in the rain!
Oh so long, Marianne, it's time that we began
to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again.
