Subconsciously

Just as I hear it coming...
whispering back and forth, you're gonna be sane.
Your wings engulf me, just let me forget.
You're never going to free, you sing softly.
I pull away from your grip, and meet your angelic face.
I was just a child. How dare you leave me for him to lean on?
And when the sky is blue, and we've made a better way out..
you come around, with that ring still around your finger.
Can't you let us let go?
Everything inside me, pulsing and throbbing, wants to share that bed once again.
Waking you in the night, your warm hands on my back.
But part of me wants you to let us go.
Crumpled notes, the memories.
Late at night I find them all, hidden in the flames.
Dancing, taunting. Fighting with myself.
Risking everything for something I don't want.
Subconsciously, I hold your hand.

thank you, 'the rock and roll combo' :) She died when I was 12, so 4 years ago. I've grown, but of course the pain is still existant. Thanks for the review. :)

Letting go is the hardest thing to do, especially a loved one. even after they have wronged us... probably cause we are creatures of habit... nice poem.
