J.J. Campbell- Two Poems


coming up on one year since my father died
 
off to the cemetery
to make sure you're
actually in the ground
 
i've had a few drinks
 
just in case the last
year has all been
a dream

two against the world
 
whisper your
fears as i hold
you close
 
even if we
can only have
moments of
perfection
together
 
i'll never trade
these tender
moments for
any neon lights
or a better life
 
those dark
beautiful eyes
of yours will
make any
tragedy
bearable
 
self-inflicted
or not
 
my blood is
now yours
 
your fears
are now
mine
 
two against
the world
 
may we both
die laughing
one day
