Gabriel by gutterlily10

Gabriel
- a guilt that lies beyond understanding

With severed wings you’ve done your part
You have torn man and God by the heart
The choir of angels had seen you fall
And they ask themselves if it’s worth it all

The mortal eyes that have seen your pain
Have had too much to witness once again
This lie that forced a lawful premise
A forbidden love that broke the promise

What you acquired for immortality’s price
Has cursed you and caused you this demise
And yet you say you have not the least regret
You would feel for her again if chance would let

And thus you lie in peace - a mortal shell
That this end will be yours, you knew too well
Had He taken you back you still would’ve chosen
The hand and the grace by which you’ve fallen

to the one who got away - for the wounds that i inflicted without the slightest idea how i even did.
