Thanks Yvonne for introducing me to Cohen in '72, remember in your flat in Crumsal Manchester. You let me share a flake of your life, and still think of you quite often...

To far advanced for the people of your time to actually enjoy you

And, the end. I still wonder if you can ask too much of life, and be so ruined by disappointment. LC sang my life to me....and now, in old age, we look alike, sound alike. Your sexuality will leave someday, then it is time, like LC to become a Zen monk (or nun.) Look up tonight. It's almost a full moon. Make sure you get some moonbeams on you. How many more full moons do you have left? We all know it will end someday--we just don't know when.

....more: Playing far too rough for a lady who's been to the moon. Children of abuse think they can bury their emotions and empathy, play with the brutes, who are intentionally cruel, yet not get hurt. It's delusion. You ruin your love. You ruin your life. The thighs are ruined...I wanted too much. (And in another song he said "you asked for too much....why not ask for more?) Ask for joy, not endless f------.

@Arjanajanath ....and so to continue.......Playing far too rough for a lady who's been to the moon. Children of abuse think they can bury their emotions and empathy, play with the brutes, who are intentionally cruel, yet not get hurt. It's delusion. At 64, I am finally learning about love, real love.

@MyCosmo2 Not! Most likely a sexual relationship--with a therapist or psychiatrist--another emotionally unavailable male, probably an "Aryan ideal"/idol (typical for a Jewess)--an ape with angel glands. Sexually driven; narcissistic, intentionally cruel. His body is a golden string. It might as well have been a steel chain. The beautiful boys of my youth. So many of them. Remember, it was the 60's. We were so young, and bodies were so beautiful. And CA was so warm and abundant.

@liagarden Such a wonderful comment. I got kind of lost in your past reading it.... Go and find him please!

He could pass for Dustin Hoffman in a lot of these pictures :P

@jsanjosemgmailcom Yes.  This is one of my favourite things about Cohen. He is so cruel in such a casual way with his music.

I've been listening to this song all my life. It explains jealousy so quietly, without judging, in a complete description of its brutality. So perfect, so Cohen.
