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

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!

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!!!
