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

I'm the strongest person I know
I was too weak in the past
I won't let my feelings show
Because I know nothing will last

This armour is my protection
Although not visible to you
My heart is full of detonation
with love & thoughts of you

Don't get too close
I will run the other way
you're the one I chose
but just like the others, you won't stay

So I'm better on my own
I cannot hurt myself you see
My best friend is Alone
& always there to comfort me

Don't get too close
I will run the other way
you're the one I chose
but just like the others, you won't stay

Perhaps we can share the same friend?
Alone is better with company
It doesn't need to be a dead end
It could be just her, you & me?

So we're better off with Alone
She cannot hurt either of us, you see
Our best friend, together we own
Always there to comfort us, three………
