J.J. Campbell

simply a pouring rain

i remember the days
where madness would 
flow like a fine wine

now, simply a pouring 
rain

broken glass

holes in the carpet

and what could have 
been plastered on the 
walls so you never 
forget

failure, a young maiden
dressed in black

the sweetest rose
nothing but thorns

i remember the first 
time my father told 
me he was going to 
take me out of this 
world because he 
was the one that 
brought me into it

and all the times
i called his bluff

all the times i laughed 
like the mad man he 
never had the balls 
to be

drove past his grave 
the other day

was hoping i needed 
to take a shit
