Just Someone to Hold

Just Someone to Hold

I do not ask for burning fire

or nights consumed with sharp desire

I do not need a lover’s game

to chase a thrill, to fan a flame

What I would keep is something small

a quiet hand to catch my fall

a body close, a steady arm

to hold me safe, to keep me warm

No silken lies, no lustful part

just comfort written in the heart

the simple grace of being near

a soul to soothe, a voice to hear

I’ve had the rush, the passion’s call

I’ve felt the rise, I’ve faced the fall

yet now my spirit longs instead

for gentle words beside my bed

So let the world keep chasing more

I’ll guard the peace that I adore

no lover wild, no burning flame

just arms that hold me all the same.
