Angel's Sin

Falling, reaching, crying.

Plummeting from the heights

of glorious light

to the depths

of endless darkness.

Such is the retribution

for this folly of mine.

A moment, a mere instant

and I pay for eternity.

Because I have loved

and been loved in return

I am cast down,

and rent from all I ever desired.

He was my splendor,

radiant and warm.

My dearest mortal.

And was that not our crime?

That he was one of the Chosen,

and I of the Seraphim.

Immortal and mortal,

the pure and the free.

How can love be wrong?

Ours was judged so;

for I am not free.

Bound am I to the

rede of the pure,

fated to be above all things.

I broke my fate.

I gave myself to a human

willingly, eagerly.

I knew the taste of love,

and for this I am condemned.

Yet, I do not regret.

Because he held me

and he loved me

and he was all I ever wanted to know.

I could not let him go

so they tore us apart

the only way they could.

At least he lives;

that knowledge comforts me

here in this ceaseless night.

My beautiful Geoff

My beloved sin.
