The Silhouette of a Tragedy

I won't let them have you
they can't take you away
None of them would understand
all the reasons you have to stay.

Break all the chains
and push through the bars
Find your way out now
before tonight fades into hours.

Promise to seal your death
with the memory of me
Should they take your precious life
and with it the only thing I need.

I can't think anymore
as my emptiness fills with tears
I see them drag you away
your expression confirming my biggest fears.

I wish you'd reassure me
promise it will be alright
Make them unlock you now
tell me I can come with you tonight.

I swear I'd give up everything
just to lay with you one last time
I would let them take me, too
if I could have one more night to call you mine.

Please scream out now
say my name out loud
Whisper something to me
anything, just make a sound.

I fold into myself for comfort
its so cold without you here
Without defense I cry for you
you're so far but still so near.

(I don't really know what this is supposed to be about, so come to your own decisions and let me know. I think its figurative, but I was inspired to write something 'different' and this was what happened.)
