Misery

Misery, my soul's companion
Who is always by my side
She holds my hand through all the darkness
And whispers vows, a solemn Bride

Misery, though I stray towards Happiness
My thoughts are never far from you
And when I'm alone and crying
I know you're thinking of me, too

Misery, you are my secret lover
Whom I hide behind closed doors
But when, finally, the silence is around us
I hunt for you with desperation throughout dark corridors

Misery, I love you and I hate you
For you are bitter-sweet
In times of peril, you're beside me
But when I try to run away, you knock me off my feet

Like an abusive partner
Your hold on me is way too strong
But if I tried to leave you
I'd leave you in the wrong
