Misery

Oh misery! When will you leave?

And let me live,

Time has passed, but am still stuck where you left me

Don’t want to dwell on sadness

But the hurt won’t leave my side

Burned and broken                                           

Spirit shaken

Still not done

Taking me down

Round and round

Oh! Misery

You have become my lone friend

Turning my world upside down

No solid ground

To stand upon

A lone cry in the night

Oh! Misery

Hear my empty pleas?

Hear my crying soul?

Don’t look away

Groping in the darkness

To hold on to you

Oh! Misery

My friend

Plunged into darkness

Lost and torn

No hope left

Within my soul

Bruised and beyond

Oh! Misery

Foe turned friend

Break me

Shake me

Tear me

A lovelorn stranger

But I promise

My friend

I’ll find my way

Way back home

Battered and lost

Requiem for my soul

Gather and rise

Rise to life
