dj o'kieff's poetry

abstract thoughts...in rhyme


lost music..

the pain

i see, i hear

is so deep to you,

the world

you are living in

is out of my view,

my heart

it aches so often

for i cannot understand,

the anguish

that is living inside your

minds land,

how i wish I could see the depth of

your soul,

to truly put myself there

to be swallowed whole,

then i might find the answers

that i struggle to see,

to be a part of you

living inside of me

 

then i would fully understand

all that you feel,

and be able to help you

perhaps, finally heal

for too many years

i have watched you

live this way,

it’s so hard to see you

like this,

day after day

 

then i get so angry

and i think

what a waste,

i want to shake you senseless

then the emotions replaced,

for surely if you could

you wouldn’t live like this,

living in a hell

only the devil would

call bliss

 

my dread is that your life

will end before you see,

any ounce of pleasure

or happiness of any degree,

and i know

i can’t feel it more than i do,

that there is so much

sweet music,

deep inside of you
