Misery

Misery

I ask you not to pity me
Alone in my misery
Wild thoughts in my head
wild thoughts of dread
I drag my feet, like leaden sheet

A lonely corridor to greet me
No where to turn, alone in my bed
I cannot explain the thoughts in my head
My heart is wounded, happiness departed
This cycle of misery knows no shame

Its holding me down, dark thoughts abounding
Tears roll down my cheek, a death to blame
Oh, why did you leave, why did you go
Taken away, away too soon
I stare at your grave, too late i know

Many things to tell, so much to explain
My heart is aching, my body shaking
My voice is quaking, the dead's not waking
Enough said, back to bed
Alone in my misery
