It's Missed You.

Misery called, your familiar kin,
Its gleaming claws lightly scratching the fastened door outside-
Wondered where you’ve been.

You used to be numb, withered within,
You lived to feel nothing, surely a part of you had died
Misery called, your familiar kin

It’s not used to your cryptic grin
Are you still just as hollow on the inside?
Wondered where you’ve been.

Deep creases of weariness spackled on your skin
It’s hard to erase where years of sorrow have abide
Misery called, your familiar kin.

It remembers the days you would let disappointment win
Defeated by letdowns, sick from all that you have been denied-
Wondered where you’ve been

It has sensed the change, but when did this all begin?
Now left to smother, suffocate, subside-
Misery called, your familiar kin,
Wondered where you’ve been.
