affections are not mine to give
for in love i do not believe
but my heart has made reason foe
and i am afraid that this will not go
recant the curse you laced in your gaze
and let me return to my earthly ways
with forgiveness in jealousy
that once consumed
and only the memory of the man
who would have me wound
