So Go On

---

Shh!

((Don't say a thing))

They'll go a\w\a\y

They'll leave you |alone|

Just return to the shadows

You'll be

forgotten

- in a second -

Lorcan's so strong

Trying to be a+c+c+e+p+t+e+d

But you just

gave up

You're tired of trying

Tired of being 'b'e't'r'a'y'e'd'

Even the nice ones

Will leave you {behind{

Okay, so maybe you're a little bitter

But it's not like she was anything

*S*p*e*c*i*a*l*

((. . .))

You just figure it's EASIER

If you push them away first

((Maybe even Lorcan))

No [[attachments]]

No ~ hurt ~ feelings

Nobody left b{e{h{i{n{d{

((Except you. Always you.))

You'll be :alone: in the end

anyway

So go on

KeepKeepKeep them at arm's length

/Act like you've forgotten her\

|I|s|o|l|a|t|e| yourself

And pretend you're just

Shy
