some very rough draft poetry

Someone come run away with me

In the shadows of life we'll be

Turning love into our grave

Living enough to never save

"Turn to Stone"

by Ingrid Michaelson

Let's take a better look

Beyond a story book

And learn our souls are all we own

Before we turn to stone

Let's go to sleep with clearer heads

And hearts too big to fit our beds

And maybe we won't feel so alone

Before we turn to stone

And if you wait for someone else's hand

You will surely fall down

If you wait for someone else's hand

You'll fall, you'll fall

I know that I am nothing new

My words might not seem to you

But brother how we must atone

Before we turn to stone
