BALLAD Poem: Negativista, by Justin Han

Negativista, c’est la vie
I miss the way you haunted me
Shadows overgrown and untame
The silence screams aloud your name

Negativista, deja vu
Another day of missing you
I’d still risk it all for your love
But it would never be enough

I told her
We’re never getting older
I’ll just carry you closer
Watch as hell freezes over
All we need is each other!

Now that you’re gone
I’m never moving on

Negativista, in my blood
Feel your heart beat when I run
When did all our good go so bad?
Oh, now I know how much we had

I told her
What about when we’re older?
After hell freezes over
What is left to discover?
I won’t ever recover

Dead or alive
Be with me tonight

Time stopped when I walked away
Hold out your hand
Take mine
And pull me under

Leaving was my great mistake
Poison me one last time
It’s now or never

Negativista, c’est la vie
Do you ever remember me?

Hold out your hand, take mine
And pull me under

(That’s the way that you want it? That’s the way it’ll be)

Hold out your hand
Take mine
And pull me under

(That’s the way that you want it? That’s the way it’ll be)

I’d still risk it all for your love
