My Misery

My misery always rides with me Under over-passes down dead end streets She knots my stomach so I can't eat My eyes beg her to let them sleep. Awake all night with my misery. My misery loves October gray She's glad the birds have flown away Watches dead weeds in an icy wind sway. She smiles at cold rain and misty spray. Awake all night with my misery. My misery finds corners in which to hide To jump out and scream at me at night To remind me of my pitiful life My failures pair with my wounded pride. Awake all night with my misery. My misery, hates your style She hates your warm and loving smile You love evoke all her jealousy. Pity me, stay with me, so I won't be- Awake all night with my misery.
