Air

            Silence,
            darkness,
            alone,
            and looking for a lost friend,
            and finding nothing but air.
            
            Searching for a hand to hold,
            a shoulder to cry on,
            a listening ear,
            and finding nothing but air.
            
           Groping in the dark,
            crying out for help,
            needing to be held,
            and finding nothing but air.
            
            Lying alone,
            crying alone,
            dieing alone,
            but still holding out hope,
            that someone will appear,
            and finding nothing but air.
             
            Hearing a sound,
            wheeling around,
            hope springing up,
            running to the door,
            and finding nothing but....
            air...
