Sorrowful Melodies

as I sit in the dark. the light in my eyes fade. The hope within my heart slowly dies. As my dreams are herd only by the sky. I reach for comfort. But all I here are the painful melodies of my heart. Someone to hold tight. Some to help me fight. I grasp at what appears to be a silhouette. Yet it is only my shadow. My soul weakens as despair takes place. Wont you here my gentle emotion. Here my falling voice. To make loneliness a choice See my quite torture. As the melodies continue in the background growing louder. Walking through a phantom door. Thinking it holds happiness and more. Thousands of doors. One for everyone. One by one they step through. As do I wish to do. One by one they are embrace with love and happiness. And so I too walk through. Only to find that there is and was nothing ever there. No one to even care. So I share my hopes dreams fears heart and soul with an wall in the dark. So as I always have. The melodies do not fade but grow even louder now. Broken I lay there in the dark. My life not even leaving a mark in the minds of others. Maybe one day it will be my turn at happiness. Maybe one day I will no longer here these sorrowful melodies.
