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.
