The Union Of One

I thought I just wanted it with someone else
But I’m beginning to see that my wealth
Comes from my solitude
And I don’t trade that in for any dude
And I try to reach across the aisle
For that guy that made me smile
In Dean Swift
When any kindness was a gift
Or someone far away
But like a starling I cannot stay
Past the point my heart commands
I am not putty in your hands
Though my soul is in love with you
It’s not because I wanted it to
Give itself away
And I cannot stay
Under the reign of a man
Who loves me only as deeply as he can
And if he cannot appreciate
Me in my singular state
Then I doubt that the affection was real
And not just some way to broker a deal
And I know what is up for sale
As eyes glaze over and without fail
A crime is committed
And I’m just not going with it
In the night
I would make one with you, alright
Just not at that price
And before you call me a bitch, be nice
