Got Me on My Knees
He’s been arguing with himself these days.
It’s all gone wrong. Been wronged.
It’s a paler shade of broken, he says,
while he argues with the mirror, and longs
for her legs. A lost prisoner to her songs.
And he falls into blond on blond dreams,
begging Layla, you’ve got me on my knees.

I liked the reference to Eric Clapton’s Layla in the last line and the two lines about longing for her legs and being a prisoner to her song.

So clever – blond on blond is a kicker – and in those 7 lines we have a whole confusing relationship – desire, frustration, despair – and all set to music. Great stuff.

Debated whether to add an e at the end of blond. Still debating.

My dictionary says that the e equates to the French female form, blond is male form – but English doesn’t make this distinction.

Apparently I was taught the French way, which means I have room to manoeuvre if I choose. 😉

Oh this got me thinking of Clapton immediately- some great music from the past.

Not familiar with the song reference….but loving the post. “a paler shade of broken” — those are words to ponder.
