J.J. Campbell writes

death is easier than change

it's the pain of knowing
the love of your life
found her love of her
life long before you
had a chance

it's all the songs that
remind you of the nights
where you foolishly
believed your future
was set

the home you were
going to buy

the children you were
going to raise

and here you are alone

crying while driving
around a city you
never wanted to be
stuck in

in an age where death
is easier than change

you still want to
believe in a love
that doesn't exist

you have lived long
enough to know this
won't end well
