Caleah Buil Poet Dramatic Verse

Air

Surging in the water with nothing in our hands
Searching for air and hoping somehwere that there's land
Cause I don't see anything in sight
And I don't feel the need to continue on this plight
Air
Somehow, somewhere
Can't quite compare
How we once shared
Air
It seems like such a neverending game
Swimming the ocean but I still can't see your face
I'm sinking down and can't float
I'm sinking down with no hope
Air
Somehow, somewhere
Can't quite compare
How much you cared
Air
I'm going down, you're going up
I'm praying hard you'll make it stop
You're all the oxygen I need
Take hold and help me breathe
Help me breathe
I'm lost at sea
It's just me
There's no air

Timothy Hicks November 3, 2014 at 6:35 PM Somehow in this poem titled Air you make me feel like I'm suffocating... not sure how that's possible but I commend you for it! There's a deep desperation in this... a cry for help. I read it the first time and think it's directed towards a lover that left... but re-reading it again it almost feels like a call to God. Not sure which. Well penned! Caleah Buil November 8, 2014 at 8:40 PM Wow! It's incredible how you actually felt what I conveyed in the poem! I wrote that exactly when I felt overwhelmed and suffocating. Is it about someone I love..or God? Maybe both? Ha! Mysteries. ;) Thank you so much!!!
