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

Breadth is for distance, side to side. I hope this is only a poem, Christopher. Very sad write.

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

Not sure which to use breath or breadth like the way breadth breaks up my rhythm
