Selkis 13 has hit the nail on the head with this one. That seems to be EXACTLY what it's about. If i read over it now I can't think of any other possible explanation.
the person saying "i will wait for you" is of course misery itself, hece the "so spoke misery"
and the "you will outlast my love" means that misery will always be there waiting for him. even after his love, because finally that will come to an end.
it is also misery speaking the lyric "I have come to relieve you Of life and love"
