If you cry, they'll find you. So keep quiet. Don't move.
Interpret this however you wish. No need to incorporate these exact words into your story, but use them as a theme. No swearing or blasphemy.

Loving me won’t save you from my shadows

If you cry, they’ll find you.

KEEP QUIET!

Don’t move my darling.

It wasn’t supposed to be this way...all that’s left is your survival.

I will go with them

Do not cry for me

I would have you gone, oceans to part us, walls to guard your heart.

You can’t stay and I won’t ask you to.

So run, far away from me, before the breaking takes us together

Now is not the time to prove your love

This is not your burden to bear

I will fight it, until scars are all that remain

Yet for now RUN

GET OUT

There is nothing for you here, but pain and disappointment

If you love me, you will run.

They will come for me in the night, sleepless unforgiving shadows

They will haunt me once more

Once more I go willing into their arms

-for my last surrender?-

I set you free from whatever threads we’ve woven into our live’s tapestry

Cords severed with my own two shaking hands

I will not look back

Forward is the only thing I know

Tomorrow dawns too soon,

too soon I am lost to myself

Go before the dawn

Go before even midnight strikes

Magic fading into fantasy

I cannot bear the weight of exopsure

Not even to you

Let us both keep what little remains of ourselves

Run away my darling.

KEEP QUIET!

If you cry, they’ll find you.

You will not recognize my remains.

Yet you are all that truly remains of me.

loving me won’t save you from my shadows
