Boundless Love
(A Polyamory Song)
I have no chains to bind you,
I threw them all away.
Does that mean I don’t love you?
Please hear me when I say:
My Love for you is boundless,
As boundless as the sea.
That’s why I don’t feel jealous.
I
want you to be free.
I want you to be happy
Because my Love is true.
So when you’re loving Others,
I'm happy for you, too.
I love you when you’re with me:
No less when you are not.
True Love is free and generous:
It can’t be trapped or bought.
For me, True Love is not a cage
To put you in and lock the door.
Your song is sweeter when you’re free;
I love to watch you soar!
Oh yes, my Love is boundless:
Not limited to you.
There’s room for Others in my heart,
And to each One I'm true.
Don’t give me any stingy love.
Give Love with all your heart.
’Cause if you try to cage my Love,
The bars will burst apart.
But if you ever left me
For some love “all your own”,
I'd rather have a broken heart
Than have a heart of stone.
If ever you should leave me for
Some love you think more “real”,
I'd rather have a broken heart
Than have a heart of steel.
