Just Hold Me
by Genevieve Sturrockjust hold me
don't speak
of tomorrow
or yesterday
don't embrace
me with passion
or possession
just hold me
don't ask me
what's wrong
or if i'm okay
let me close
my eyes and
rest for a bit
just hold me
should you
feel a dampness
on your shoulder
don't look
too closely
or wonder why
just hold me
i am weary
in need of
peaceful succor
let me set
down my burdens
and rest for a bit
just hold me 04/30/2009 Posted on 04/30/2009
