Misery

So sweet, and yet so disappointing
Envious, and yet so anti-social
Strict, consequential
Mellow, quiet
Its actions and results are so loud
But its words are oh so silent
Too silent
To silent to even know it's there
Lurking around
Shadowing you
Closing down on its next clueless prey
Helplessly I run from its clutches
So tempting I shift towards its gentle touches
Oh sweet Misery.
