I Am Dying
by Leonard Cohen

I am dying
  because you have not
died for me
  and the world
still loves you

I write this because I know
that your kisses
  are born blind
on the songs that touch you

I don't want a purpose
  in your life
I want to be lost among
       your thoughts
the way you listen to New York City
when you fall asleep
