Behind the veil I wear upon my face
Despite the actions I partake tonight
Knowing you has filled my heart with grace
And seeing you has filled my soul with light
Let's play with the fire that runs in our veins
Temper with feelings that we shouldn't dare
Testing the temperance of these social chains
Cast off their irons and lay ourselves bare
Fruit so forbidden a bite will expel
Serpentine glances from my concubine
With you I'm in heaven. With her, in hell.
With her I'm entangled, with you entwined.
Though each of us will surely do his best
It's your true heart on which my hopes shall rest
Despite the actions I partake tonight

Fruit so forbidden a bite will expel

This is actually from one character to another for a performance going up tomorrow. We had to write a secret note for someone else in participation. So I had some fun with it. If anyone recognizes the last couplet, that's intentional. It's directly from the source we drew our characters from. Have an awesome night, and keep writing.
