Stygian (Flee)
One night, he said to me,

"I cherish you and my love is true,
But love, distance is what I must pursue.
You love everything sweet, and everything dark,
And I am an embodiment, of all things dark.

Like a rose that wilts in my palm, love fades,
Losing its charm, as darkness overshadows the shade.
Maybe in another life, I'd protect you from all strife,
I will be your guardian, the love of your life.

But with these shattered fragments, I'm helpless and weak,
My demons loud, my darkness seeks to seep.
I may be all you desire, but not what you need,
Cause' you deserve more, and this darkness will consume me, indeed.

Before I reclaim who I've always been,
Don't hide, don't seek stealth, flee.
Let me be selfless, my dear, hear my plea,
Let my words be clear, and set your spirit free.

Let the wind carry you far and wide,
Before I release the side of me, I find hard to hide.

This may linger for eternity, our trance may never break,
But seize the chance to fly away, for I'll drag you down, my love, I'll make you ache.
Don't fly so close to me, dear one, don't you see,
I'm a storm that will engulf you, a darkness that will never set you free."

Flee!
