Corbett,

You accuse me of acting dishonourably when all I ask is two simple,
small, heartfelt tokens of love from the one I love. I write this for
you...my bargain to my love is made.

---
The Bargain is Already Made
---

In darkness the world walks, with the fear
That those who break the tradition, only
Do so for their own sake.

Patience, child, for I do not dare to break
The heart of one I have not admitted,
Yet publicly to love.

Some time you may walk the forests and above
Watch the birds that fly and remember,
That they see more than us.

For what do you know of love? Or Lust?
You who dictate to me how I should
Conduct myself; it sorrows...

Me that you must walk each and every tomorrow
Looking to tell someone how they should be
I would have thought better.

Walk not in the darkness of the world's shelter
Come with me and share the light, there is
Too much time and not enough

Left to share with hate and not with love.
Two tokens was all I asked, of her love
And for my love, already paid...

My bargain has been made!

Penned by my hand on the 4th of Lupar, in the year 371 AF.
