If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

So the only question is whether you need a comma at that point in the sentence to make it clear. You use the comma as necessary.

The only other question is whether the particular author is able to judge that effectively. In my experience that's often not the case. You, I expect use it properly when needed. The "writers" I deal with are not generally that careful, and an issue does crop up every so often.

Because books.

msbelle, I'm definitely watching at least the premiere of The New Girl. Whitney, not so much.

I don't particularly care for his father's charm, though.

I have longstanding, irrational love for James Caan.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

And Ashton Kutcher is a nice boy.

His mother must be so proud.

Three kinds of people charged to help her when she tripped. I saw Ed O'Neill.
