MISERY IS ALL I KNOW
		I have saved myself for a man, Who does not come, I have held on to the hope, That he will rescue me, A face of an angel, The emptiness of hell, I am destined to be alone, Yet, My body burns with desires, That  I can not quench, I ache to be loved, To love, Misery is all I know For many years, I have faced it all alone, Content with the company of my own  dreams, High, Low, I could never turn away, And yet, I am yearning to know the sheer pleasure, Of a connection, Am I never to know what it means to be fullfilled, Misery is all  I know I can not hide this anymore, I am not the happy girl, That seems to be on top of the world, The dreams are there , But coated in soot, Fading, I am fading, Aging, I am aging, Can I possibly hold on any longer I have so much that I long to experience, I have to struggle to carry on, Misery is all I know In the distance, I hear a roar, Laughter, Mocking me, Misery is all  i know
