melancholy soul

 
my soul adrift in pain
succumbs to the inner blue holding me tightly
melancholy thoughts my only company

I seek friendship but fail to connect
watching from afar I keen
my tears go unnoticed
I cry inside where no one can see my loneliness

here in my sanctuary of grief
I keep a diary of hurt
depression my master I linger
inside the dark where no can see me
it hurts to be this invisible
a ghost of myself

people wonder where I went
down the corridor of sadness
lost in the madness
I can't find my way back
I cry a lonely hello
no one hears my voice
bleak is the day that sees me here

but my soul is beautifully flavored with blue
even in doubt I know
there is a purpose for even this

melancholy a loving teacher
I've come to appreciate the ones I love more dearly
