Bad Blood
**I wrote a poem based off lyrics from the song “Bad Blood” by Asking Alexandria.**
The emptiness
Inside
Is overwhelming,
All-consuming.
I fell for your
Disguise,
I thought you
Cared,
But it was all
A lie.
Now,
I’m left with
Our memories
Dragging me under.
I wonder
When I’ll
Sleep at night,
Because I haven’t
Slept
Since you
Left.
Will I
Catch me if I
Fall
And lose it all?
I’m falling
Deeper
Into the darkness
That’s pulling me down.
_Down I go…_
_Down under…_
_Down below_
_The surface…_
_Down to_
_Rock bottom…_
Oh,
I swear
To myself
And to God,
It’s the last fucking time
That I
Let you
Let me
Down,
I refuse
To put up with
The lies
Any longer.
_Let me _
_Down…_
Oh
My lord,
I swear
It’s good fucking bye,
I’m done
With you,
You let me
Down,
That’s the reason why.
I’ll
Cut you out,
Cut all ties,
No need for
Proper goodbyes.
Now,
You’re caught
In a lie,
A twisted delusion
Of your own creation.
You broke me,
You broke us,
And now we’ve got…
_Bad blood._
Bad blood
Coursing
Through our veins.
All the lies
You told
Stuck in my
Mind,
Like when you said
You cared…
All the broken souls
You
Left behind,
Not just me,
Others too.
I’m drowning
In misery,
Too far below
The surface.
The fires
Burning
In my veins,
My blood
Boiling
From the heat
Of the rage.
The love I felt
For you
Has turned to pain
‘Cause of you.
_Oh, _
_The mental strain,_
_You made me_
_Go insane…_
I’m ready.
_For what?_
Ready
To give up.
I’ll push you
Away
And save
Myself.
_You_
_Betrayed _
_My_
_Trust…_
_And you _
_Took it all_
_From me…_
_Happiness…_
_Peace…_
_The very will_
_To live…_
_You _
_Took it all…_
_Selfish._
Oh,
I swear
On my
Very own life,
It’s the last fucking
That I
Let you
Let me
Down,
I deserve
Better
Than that.
__
_Let me_
_Down…_
Oh
My lord,
I swear
It’s good fucking bye,
You
Made me cry
Too many times.
I’ll
Cut you out,
Without
You, I’m free.
Now,
You’re tryin’
To lie,
I can see
The patterns clearly,
You won’t
Win this war.
You twisted the line
Between what’s true
And what’s false,
And now we’ve got…
_Bad blood._
Why can’t you just
Get the picture?
Zoom out of your
Tunnel vision,
And soon you’ll see
The hatred for you
Flowing through me.
You
Left me
Butter,
The sweetness
Inside
Long since
Had died.
All that’s left
Flowing through me
Is bad blood.
_Bad blood._
Now,
You got me
Feeling hollow,
Empty inside,
My heart died,
Like there’s
No tomorrow.
I’ll
Cut you out
For good,
You’ll never
Find a way
To be with me
In the light of day.
After all
That you’ve done,
There’s no one
To forgive you.
_Absolutely _
_No one_
_To forgive you._
Oh,
I swear
It’s the last fucking time
That I will ever
Put up with
Your bullshit,
That’s your
Burden to bear,
Not mine…
Me?
I’ll be
Fine.
I’ll
Cut you out,
Now,
You’re caught
In a lie,
The delusions…
You want to die?
Or cry?
And now we’ve got…
_bad blood_
__
_Bad blood._
__
_BAD BLOOD!_
__
_ALL WE HAVE IS_
_BAD BLOOD _
_NOW!!_
