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.
