Lady Misery
She who walks in darkness, they call her.
She lives where the sun is turned to darkness.
The black depths of death, she never sleeps.
At night she rises from her shadowy place in the world,
In search of the one who stole her soul.
Into her very heart the fire burned,
Because of he, her heart is cold.
She yearns for a life where there are no more tears,
For it's been too many years.
She gave him her heart and all that she could give
And in return… he gave her fears.
Fears of another he let into his heart and therefore he parted.
She tried making him stay, she begged and pleaded.
He said he no longer needed her love, her touch…
He knew she loved him so much.
He left, never to return again, in the end she did not win.
So she packed up the three things that meant the most to her
And left to go down under.
And with her she took pictures of him and her, her poem book,
…and a broken heart.
She is now forced to roam this planet sadly and lonely.
She feels used; she looks for no ending to her agony.
She cries tears of red, they say.
She's as beautiful as the goddess Aphrodite.
People claim to see her nightly.
The look upon her face is sad and lifeless,
As a ghost they say she floats.
Never again will she love another
She'll search for him till her life is over.
Lady Misery is her name
And forever her heart lies in pain.
