Ah, sweet misery.
My true friend,
My one companion.
Always alone
Yet, never without
You.
When happiness falls away
I have you to turn to.
When loneliness is all that's left
I can feel you
Crawling under my skin.
Burning.
I have to let you out;
You cannot be contained.
Silver blades break the surface,
And I watch as you snake your way
Across my skin . . .
Staining it so red.
Oh, sweet misery
Don't leave me now;
You're all I have left.
I can feel your warmth
As you pool beneath me
On the ground.

Ah, sweet misery.
My true friend,
My one companion.
Always alone
Yet, never without
You.
When happiness falls away
I have you to turn to.
When loneliness is all that's left
I can feel you
Crawling under my skin.
Burning.
I have to let you out;
You cannot be contained.
Silver blades break the surface,
And I watch as you snake your way
Across my skin . . .
Staining it so red.
Oh, sweet misery
Don't leave me now;
You're all I have left.
I can feel your warmth
As you pool beneath me
On the ground.
