A Song Mans Poem

A Poem by Olive Belikov
"

I took a bunch of lyrics from lots of different songs and attempted to put them together into a poem. Tell me what you think and if you wanna know who wrote any of the lyrics in particular, message me

"
Gravedigger,
when you dig my grave
could you make it shallow
so that I can feel the rain?
Just a drop in the ocean
a change in the weather,
I was prayin’ that you and me
might end up together.
goodbye my almost lover
goodbye my hopeless dream,
I’m tryin’ not to think about you,
can’t you just let me be?
She’s beautiful,
in her simple little way.
She don’t have much to say
when she gets mad.
She understands,
you don't let go of anything
even when the pain gets really bad.
I guess i shoulda been more like that.
But tryin’ to live a love
with a heart that can be broken
is like trying to see the light
with eyes that can’t be opened.
We may shine,
we may shatter,
we may be picking up the pieces
here on after.
We are fragile,
we are human,
we are shaped by the light
we let through us.
But we break fast
‘cause we are glass.
So I need your arms
around me.
I need your scent
on my skin.
And I need to know
that you’ll never let go;
never let go again.
If I lay here,
if I just lay here,
would you lie with me
and just forget the world?
We’ll do it all,
everything,
on our own.
We don’t need
anything,
or anyone.
If you ever find  yourself
in the middle of the sea,
i’ll sail the world
to find you.
If you ever find yourself
lost in the dark
and you can’t see,
I’ll be the light
to guide you.
I’m searching for your hand
at sunset.
I hear you whisper
in the wind.
I'm alone but you keep
haunting me;
your voice singing in the sea.
Does that make me crazy?
‘Cause I think you’re crazy.
So run, sister, run.
Zig zag to avoid the gun.
We’ll live in a cave
where I know
We’ll be safe.
