Misery

Feeling your insecurities

Touching your vicious, vital thing

And she grabs your finger

Strokes your impurities

And she takes her hands

And holds your emptiness

And throws it away...

Now you know how it feels

To be torn away from your dreams

Misery, misery

She´s devouring your skin

Just the way you like it

I wasn´t using you

But now your being used, you fool

Misery, misery

It´s like your showing up at my front door

But all I hear is your voice

My eyes cant remember your face

your structure

My hands cant remember

Your touch

Your embrace

And my lips cant remember

Your taste

It´s as if I opened the door and seen nothing

But invisibleness

And all I hear is your voice

It´s the way you left

That´s all I can remember

Misery, Misery

You´ll face your mistakes one day

Misery will eat you alive

Like it did with me...

And all you could think about

is how to escape

But it wont go away

Because that past is haunting

You wont be alone...

It´s haunting me too...

"She´s devouring your skin
Just the way you like it"

There seems to be no way to escape this misery, loved those lines, and yes we've all lived there at one time or another. A haunting read, I enjoyed it muchly!

A very good description of misery. It does grow and toss us into depression. I like the flow of thoughts leading to a very good ending.
