Turn away, run
Do not stay here.

Your whispers hit me,
unseen, a dark Sun.

Darkness now I do not fear
The cool night air bites me, shears.

I embrace willingly, the numb
But my mind is rampant, soul none.

Run, do not stay here.

The chimes they betray us
Hold fast, come the gust.

I am your past, I know
Your future, there, another.

Go
Run, you must
Do not stay here....

The winds shatter the water glass
Drops fall down, but it rains not.

The voice I yearn for threads my conscious
Sewing together a fate not obvious.

Is it not enough to say we've tried?
How much will it cost to give more and survive?

The light of your shadow pierces my steady gaze
Through the smoke, I cough, a deep haze.

Run, do not stay here.

Run, your presence incites in me fear.

Fear of senescence,
Any other punishment is of a lesser sentence.

Run, do not stay here....

I loved you, and perhaps I continue to.

But that has passed, or I think it so....

Run....

Don't.

Stay here.
