Leonard Cohen coaxes me from the grave to write
After years of being trapped in my own earthen pit
Light floods my eyes in the pain of heartbrokenness – 
a sorely overlooked addition to the five senses
And I touch the inspiration of suffering once again

She and I embrace
It's been so long she says
Why didn't you seek me out sooner

I haven't been able to find a love that conjured you
Until recently
And had I not met him
We may never have reunited

Thank you, cracked open heart, thank you
