Angel Within.

Her graceful touch.
That rest upon my shoulder.
Her pale dainty hands.
Intertwine within mine.

"Let me Show You;
Just who I am.
My Darling Child,
Please don't be scared."

My eyes close.
For we are no longer on the floor.
My hands are shaking.
Oh how nauseating.

I can't believe all I see.
My Past.
Present.
And Now Future.

"Is that..Me?"
I ask coldly.
Sweat running down my cheek.
Eyes dull and lifeless.

She doesn't speak.
Not a single word.
Her eyes fixed on nothing.
As she nods quietly.

I wiggle to be free.
Yet her grip increases.
Not in a harmful manor.
But more to comfort.

"My child, do you not like that?
This awful site you see?
Is it what you want.
I can see this is where you are heading"

I shake, wanting this to be over.
I pray for it to be a dream.
A nightmare that is ending.
I close my eyes quickly.

And When I open them.
I'm upon the ground.
Once again, an angel.
Holding my hand.

Her delicate calming smile.
Graciously soothing me.
Her silk wings.
Flapping aimlessly.

As she says her goodbyes.
And of how she shall see me again.
I smile not wanting her to leave.
As she is a never ending part of my life.
