Bird On The Wire

Like a baby, stillborn,
like a beast with his horn
I have torn everyone who reached out for me

-Leonard Cohen

since i think you read, and may well understand

would you, would you?
could you undue?
dismiss your pride?
what say?

do you, do you?
know what hurt you?
deny my side?
a say?

did you, did you?
take them with you?
tears i cried?
for days?

fix it, fix it.
ignore conscience.

your pride

is in

the way.
