Oh, how my soul
feels the tearing of its flesh
down in the sacred place
where all things matter.
Oh, for love is the fabric of the soul
and oh for except love
I cannot be.
For our souls are one
as our hearts are one.
Oh, your pain
is my pain
and your joy my joy.
Oh, for a love like fire
has seeped has seeped
into every muscle
and every sinew
and there is no part of me
where the love of you
does not live.
Oh, how like a knife
your absence cuts so deep.
Oh, so deep
my breath is taken away
and I weep a lake of tears!
Oh, how love and pain
seem to be
the twin sides of this world.
One of light
and one of shadow.
Oh, how I no longer live
but this thing called love lives within me..
Oh, whither you love
I know not
but my heart shall ever love
and your pleasure seek.
Oh, my dear love
pierce not my soul to it death.
Oh, how this world would be
so sad and lonely
and full of darkness be
without your gift of love.
For only you can end my pain
and only you can make me live!
Oh, nothing can ever replace
the love you hold for me
and your warm embrace.
