The Kiss I Ask of You

My fairest beauty, you hold my love and seal my pain,

Like a glistening spark, you hold my flame,

Oh, the fairest one where beauty lies, 

A kiss of fate you mustn't deny. 

Your lips are so pure and eyes so bright,

Like the fresh fallen snow amidst a winter's night,

Oh, fairest beauty, you have captured my soul,

I am part of you; together, we are whole.

Forsake my kiss that I ask of you

And blood and tears shall surely ensue,

Deny me not, my love so true,

Accept the kiss I give to you.

If thou deny'st our fate so blessed,

You will be the blade upon my chest,

If I die, you shall suffer too, 

You are a part of me, and I am a part of you.

I suffer twice, and you suffer the rest,

You suffer from guilt, and me from death, 

You suffer from me, and I from you,

We suffer together if thou deny'st this love so true.
