David William Breidenthal Poet Free verse

Despite Your Demise

I will trek the hard route just to see your ghost appear
Even though I don’t believe in ghosts, 
I do believe that you thrive in this human heart
When I lost you, most of me have broken down
Most of me fell into a pit of pity…
You’re a loss that means so much to me
Your loss put a big impact on me 
You’re mighty strong…
Despite your demise

Your eyes has lost its shine
You don’t see…your eyelids are locked in place
Don’t deny the fact that you’re still mine
You don’t know me…don’t whisper your goodbye 
‘Cause we’ll see watch other face to face 
I’m trying to keep pace…
But my mind is racing with several thoughts all at once
It’s hard to catch them by the tale…
Your face is pale…
My tears shower down like bitter hail! 
This isn’t the end…
There’s no need to say goodbye…
Don’t say goodbye…or I’ll cry
Due to your demise

Ripped apart by your absence
I ponder about the times we cherished with each other 
I faced the truth already – I need to believe it, though I think it’s nonsense
I fade away, only to find…only to find that I’m blind…
This extreme fear bottled up inside needs to be released right now
Open your eyes – I need your sympathy, not your pity!
Widen your mouth – speak through me!
My soul has strayed too far 
I wander through the maze of your outlandish mind
We’re placed in the same car…
The truth is…hidden beneath the surface
It’s somewhere safe…not controlled by the abyss
Throw away your distress and confess
To me your reason to live with me…I need not to see your demise
Your demise…I’m not ready to see it or believe it…
I don’t care if I SOUND UNWISE…
I still hear your heartfelt cries…
Despite your demise

Hold on to me, dear…

I know you can make it through this tribulation

Talk to me, have no fear…

I’m here…to hear you speak your mind – express your frustration

I can relate to you – I really can!
Man, I feel you so much…just keep reminding yourself:
“I think I can…
I think I can…
I think I can…
Do it if I put my mind to it”

That’s the spirit! That’s what I’m looking for
So, don’t forlorn…there’s more hope in store
So no more! Please no more
Feeling down and emotionally sore
Speak your mind; I listen some more!

I need to get over the thought of losing you…
Could you help me think it through?
I have hope that we'll be together once more, despite your demise
Don’t you see…that I’m foolish, not wise!

Jake Ponce May 6, 2014 at 8:30 PM 18th on the list: David, you have this recurring theme of wanting to save someone who refuses to be saved. Now I'm really curious as to what the circumstances were at that time of your life. Maybe one of these days you can tell me all about it via soupmail. Nevertheless, it's a painful fuel for your fire that brings out amazing pieces of poetry from you. They're very heavy and they seem to really take the readers on perilous leaps of faith only to find out that it was all just a nightmare.

Carolyn Devonshire April 30, 2014 at 6:13 AM Oh, David, don't think you're unwise because love lingers in your heart. Just as you did here, use this love as inspiration for poetry. If this was written for the contest about "Sweetheart" Linda Marie, it scores high for me. We never stop caring about people who have touched our lives. Sending you blessings and wishes for healing. Love, Carolyn
