My Friend, Misery

Misery is my friend The only one that Always sticks around If happiness ever finds me I would start to cry I'd let out shrieks Like the Banshees Trailing me I need to feel pain I know nothing else Only way that I know That I am still alive Joy makes me feel numb Serenity frightens me Nightmares give me peace Because at least I know That they are real They don't distort the truth Let me breathe in my despair I need to feel the melancholic breeze On my tear soaked face All I know is pain All I know is misery All I know is torment Their absence means My untimely demise I love you, misery Be with me always
