I Have A Gift For You

I have a gift for you.
A single black rose
To show you my black love.
 
A single rose,
As tainted as my soul,
And a single dark feather,
A token of my desire.
 
Do not scorn me,
My dearest,
Come close.
 
Prick thy finger
And give a drop of blood,
Sustenance for an angel
Condemned to walk the Long Road.
 
A black rose-
A token of my forbidden love for you
And the symbol of my damnation,
And my fall from Grace...
