Somehow, I knew that he would never hold me,
so,
I let you instead.
I do not want you heart,
and your shoulders have a jagged edge.
But I am tired,
and somewhere on your chest,
I know there is a soft place where I can rest.
Hold me
hold me dear,
draw me close,
because he was never there,
and maybe if you rock me to sleep,
I will awake,
refreshed and repaired.
Hold me,
hold me dear,
but not because you love me only,
hold me
hold me dear,
just because we are both lonely.
