The Land of Grimney - The Illustrated Adventures of Cora Pearl, aged 12

Hold Me Close

“Will you stay and keep me company tonight?”
She whispered in my ear
as I felt the wetness of her tear.
“Will you stay and keep me company tonight?”

“I don’t wish to be left alone.”
A cry of help was all she gave
and yes, it was her I was here to save.
“No I won’t leave you alone.”

“Lie here beside me, in my bed.”
Leading me, whilst holding my hand,
She took me to her distant land.
“Yes, I’ll lie beside you, in your bed.”

“Please hold me, hold me close.”
Was said, as our bodies were entwined,
all our worries were left behind.
“Please hold me, hold me close.”
