Christopher Quigley Poet Free verse

Alone

Sitting with a lap full of tears
Asking the air for help
The blubbering sobs that scrimp and save for recognition
Help me please 
but the nothingness holds its breadth
twisting my agony 
in its tortured game of hide and never find
Somebody please help me
but the silence amplifies my fear
Alone

Christopher Quigley June 12, 2018 at 11:17 AM Thank you If you look at my comment i deliberately used breadth instead of breath to emphasize the vastness of the nothingness and to break the poem up a bit

Christopher Quigley June 12, 2018 at 9:18 AM Not sure which to use breath or breadth like the way breadth breaks up my rhythm
