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!

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.

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
