dark winter blues

 

by J. J. Campbell

 

 

endless grief

on these days

 

cold, dark winter

blues ripping the

night open with

heartbreak and

despair

 

the old lovers

come armed

to the teeth

 

they are out

for their pound

of flesh

 

you’re too cool

to play the victim

 

the sharp tongue

ready for any

battle

 

certain assholes

know how much

fun it is to burn

the fucking bridges

with people still

on it



in this damn void

by J. J. Campbell

 

another morning

that the world

didn’t end while

i was sleeping

 

yet another cup

of coffee that

isn’t strong

enough

 

trapped in this

damn void

 

destined for nothing

other than empty

promises and

endless suffering

 

love is a myth

anymore

 

one of those tales

you tell children

to give them hope



in the back of my brain

 

by J. J. Campbell

 

 

searching for the words

 

some emotion that

describes the moment

 

some desire tucked deep

in the back of my brain

 

cheating death

 

running out the clock

on life

 

all my dreams have

been ruined before

i even got the chance

to have them

 

another bleary winter

day

 

the love of your life

somewhere unknown

to you

 

rinse and repeat

 

does nothing change

because i enjoy the

madness or i don’t

deserve any better

than this

 

 

J.J. Campbell (1976 –?) is old enough to know better. He's been widely published over the years, most recently at Black Coffee Review, Synchronized Chaos, The Black Shamrock, Horror Sleaze Trash, and The Beatnik Cowboy. You can find him most days on his mildly entertaining blog, evil delights. (https://evildelights.blogspot.com)
