make me forget

by J. J. Campbell

i still recall your
two lovely lips
dark haunting eyes
and a body that
wouldn't quit

that was long over
a decade now

and i sometimes
have to force these
poems out before
the evil forces in
my brain make me
forget i ever had
any happiness
or joy

let alone a time
in my life where
i was regularly
having sex

you're married
now and happy

you got what you
always wanted

one of us
deserved it
i suppose
