Oh, what is life
but the quest to fill your heart
with the soul of another.
Oh,  an aching need
to posses every fiber
of my beloved.
And to hold her
in my heart
and my arms
as in one single moment
that shall last for eternity.
Oh, if my heart never knows love
then it is but a ticking clock
a blindly running machine
and all my life
and all that I have ever hoped for
is in vein.
And I am dead
upon my feet
and the world is dead
and all about me is death!
Oh, you my love
are the heart
and the center of my world.
Oh, how I feel this aching need
to fill this heart and this mind
and these arms with you  my dear love.
Oh, I know that heart and soul
is filled with you
and that you live within
my very bones.
Oh, if you were to slay me
how could I ever hate you
for all that I am is a love
that lives for you.
Oh, all these words
that fall from my tongue
are all in vein!
Oh, for how I know
words can never express
the depths of passion
that lives within this mortal coil!
Oh, all that I am
and all the fibers that are woven together
to make my soul
I would freely give
for  caress of your arms
and one final dying kiss.
