J.J. Campbell- A Poem

fools lose control

dance

you scream 

to the demons

below

dance like we

have a rhythm

unknown to this

world

the end of love

is coming around

the bend in the

road

fools lose control

and watch destiny

slip right out of

their hands

but the wise ones

the ones with a

bit of grey on

the temples

the ones that have

skin toughened

with the countless

heartbreaks of

before

this ain't the first

rodeo

you'd be amazed

at how far handling

this shit with ease

goes in the eyes of

a woman
