The Offer of Love


(Melody: Windrider Unchained by Mercedes Lackey)

My love, how I wish I could tell you my feelings, I wish I could tell you what lies deep inside,
but I am afraid of what surely will happen, fi all I feel for you will come to light.
If you love me then I fear death will takes us, for you will surely protect and help me,
and if you don't love me all was for nothing, love between master and slave cannot be.

So I keep still and my tears are all silent, I hope you will not look too closely at me.
Will you be able to read love in gesture, in silence or song, or in glance that you see?
I bear these chains for sweet love, and sweet longing. I bear the cruelties of strong hearts of stone,
But I can never come close to my loved one, and this enduring must be done alone..

Love if you think that you know what I'm saying, do not come closer, but just let me be.
Love I will longingly look from a distance, for only touch of eyes is safe to me.
I'll be a slave and cry all tears in silence, you be the leader and make them obey,
that is my offer for you and for loving, that I will suffer, and alive you will stay..
