"

Whenever I happen to see you
I forget for a while
that I am ugly in my own eyes
for not winning you

I wanted you to choose me
over all the men you know
because I am destroyed
in their company

I have often prayed for you
like this
Let me have her

"

the 96th poem from The Energy of Slaves - by Leonard Cohen (via jsykes)
