Misery's Company

She hates to be alone, therefore, she loves my name
She beckons me once and twice the same
For she enjoys my presence, she loves the pain
The rapture she feels when she calls my name
The source of my tragedy
Unaware of her strategy, her tactics slew me
While my ignorance soothes her
My lack of knowing proves her-
Victorious once more, her love for me grows sore
But still, she beckons, my love for her reckons
Can’t protect them, my feelings
For now they’re seduced by one
Misery her name
And she loves my company
There’s no one to save me, no one with sympathy
Until the one comes, she and I are alone
For I am misery’s company,
She’s waiting for me to come home
