I want to engage in a conversation with you,
Because in our love negotiations
My divinity is not on the table.
No you can’t love me in fragments
I don’t come compartmentalized
Love me whole
Or I will fly.
I want to build a nest
With you, with all your words,
But remember I’m a migrant bird
And I know how to soar away,
You don’t understand my way of love.
I do not sing in cages,
I do not live in fear,
I live, I love, I worship,
I am a living symphony.
Baby, I am free and thriving,
Whole like the bread you got at whole foods
And I know it's complicated:
I am complete and happy without you
Yet I know I could also be whole with you.

I want to engage in a conversation with you,
Because in our love negotiations
My divinity is not on the table.
No you can’t love me in fragments
I don’t come compartmentalized
Love me whole
Or I will fly.
I want to build a nest
With you, with all your words,
But remember I’m a migrant bird
And I know how to soar away,
You don’t understand my way of love.
I do not sing in cages,
I do not live in fear,
I live, I love, I worship,
I am a living symphony.
Baby, I am free and thriving,
Whole like the bread you got at whole foods
And I know it's complicated:
I am complete and happy without you
Yet I know I could also be whole with you.
