I Could

I could kidnap you
Keep you safe from all harm

I could sing for you
And make my heart bleed

I could lie for you
And it would all be changed

I could cry for you
So rivers would flood again

I could meld with you
Keeping you tight in my arms

I could wait with you
As the trauma lets loose
