Misery is when you get there and realize that the person who is dead is another close friend.
Misery is when you look around and all your friends are crying.

Misery is when the next day you see them stocking up in White Clay for a party soon to come.

Misery is when you realize they'll never stop,
and you'll always be choosing black clothing for the next day.
