An ode to misery

Misery... Oh, sweet misery, why must you follow me everywhere I go?
Eager anticipation of the future without thee I dream of...
A smile on my face without a hint of ye I have never felt...
You my love, my comrade, and my foe leave me not...
For I'd be lost without you, my misery...

Misery... Oh, enigmatic misery, why do blazing guns halt whilst you pass by?
The world has not known no pain, no joy, no discomfort without thee...
So composed are you that even the most steadiest of hands tremble before ye...
For with your charm you have convinced the world they cannot do without...
Yes, they'd be lost without you, Miss Misery...

Misery... Oh, faithful misery, why is it as the cold tempest rage outside my windows...
You keep my bed warm with your silence and yet your overwhelming presence?
A heavy heart, trails of tears and a wet pillow besiege me every night...
I beg of you to let me keep you beside me for all eternity...
My friend, my lover, my sweet misery...

Misery... Beautiful Misery, why must bedazzle your devotees with your charm?
I profess without thee single moment I'd survive not...
I confess I'd die without you by my side...
Stay with me...
Oh, beautiful misery, I love you...
