Cento Poem- Unnamed

This is a variation on a Cento poem.  The word comes from cloak of patches.  It is generally a poem made of lines of other poems or lines from stories.  I used lyrics from songs.  It was harder than I thought so there was no real rhyme scheme or meter to it.  I save that for the next time! LOL
Song credits are at the bottom and listed by line. 


Where have you been my darling young one?
‘Cause lately I’ve been waking up alone
Just call out my name
Anywhere you go I’ll follow you down, I’ll follow you down but not that far…

When I met you in the summer
Maybe you were right but baby I was lonely
And then I said hey what going on
Will you follow and know, know me more than you do?

You turned to me and all at once
Tell me why you’re looking so confused
I won’t let nobody hurt you, won’t let nobody break your heart
That’s my job, that’s what I do

So if I lay here, If I just lay here
Could you, could you come back?
I’d rather die young than grow old without you
Don’t ask me to choose honey, cause either way we stand to lose.
