Sense Sonnet - Acher

 My Misery Song

I remember in '63

I was a teenager in love,

Heard The Beatles sing "Misery,"

And felt what they were singing of.

I was having a heart attack,

The kind that's not fatal but breaks.

She dumped me for the quarterback.

I had to go through all the aches

And pains of feeling like a fool.

Miserable, wishing I was dead,

I was at my low in high school.

That Beatles song stuck in my head.

Months later I felt great for sure,

After the quarterback dumped her.
