Not to be bought or sold
but to be given
and upon being given
preciously received
Not to be forced
forced to choose
Not to be told
what it is I can and cannot do
for you do as you please
and as you do
Now I feel a burning
The precious gift
that was my love
is now diseased
infested with half-truths
and lies
It was not always this way
but now and forever will be
For the precious gift
that is my love
is not to be bargained for.
