misery for breakfast
in the middle of a spoonful
nonabrasive tactics in order to gain
never a loss only a win
I swallow the misery
take it all in
And for lunch just the same
all hidden in this growing shame
Ride highly on the moment
when the taste is bland
gritty version of this desert sand
called misery
It speaks to me as I consume
it say's 'kelly your the world, my doom'
and yet I continue with each bite
blinded by its sultry sight
its my misery I am full
Now if it wasn't for the break
between the fall of the moon
setting of the sun
filling thoughts of its versatile
delicious, overbearing appetite it has
above all things I'd have to purge
oh but as of late
at dinner, when it pulls full force at
me
filling a plate of saddening vittles
mmmm... taste and sense its suffocating
abilities it has on me
sad to say its, OK
when I dine on its fine fruits
engorged in this misery
such a sorry state
for anyone to relate
yet so filling
