Jillian Scott - Could I

Could I
steal your
beauty,
or the
lines around
your eyes?

Steal your
provoked longings,
your colorful
aura
dyes.

Could I
steal
your dreams,
your wisdom,
your thoughts?

Could I
steal
these things
for which you fought?

Will you
hold tight?
Keep your
life-safe
locked?

Will you
come back
to join us,
your life-boat
docked?

I will hold
you close,
let
you near.
Treasure your life,
no fear.

They live through me.

Your lines
will be mine,
and so will
your dreams.

Letting life-boats
dock,
guided by
your life-beams.
