Misery Loves Company

Meghan Kaplan Wuorio

Take my hand,
Promise me you will understand.

The pain I am going through,
I never meant to hurt you.

Now you're gone away,
When I needed you to stay.

In my time of sadness,
I need you, I need you.

Come back to me,
Please set me free.

From this misery that has overcome,
The person I had become.

The person I seek to be,
Is the person who who will see...

That with you,
Is where I need to be.
