I Wanna Be Her Boa

I gaze at the fire
Feel the heat that it brings
I look in the flames and see
My first true love
And I remember her voice her sing

I see her crying in sadness
And I see her tears running
Along the river with laughter

What comes in strength
Abundant in truth
Out my heart and out my soul
Is to wrap my whole self around her
As a Boa Constrictor
To protect her
To adorn her in her bridal gown
She effortlessly reveals in her love

If she cuts herself with a knife
I'll heal that opening with my hands and heart
Every drop of blood I'll rinse away
With our sadness as though it did never start
