    Bad Date: A Fool Waiting On The Right Block by Melodie Yvonne

    You think you’re just as slick as motherfuckin’ Pee-wee Herman
    Goin’ to the movies with his big ole jug of Jergens
    But really what you don’t know is you’re nothin’ but a player
    Chokin’ out your next commander like you’re motherfuckin’ Vadar

    You think you’re extra tasty like a chili cheese burrito
    But you sure ain’t seen spicy ’til you get a load of me though
    You make excuses sayin’ that you need to tend your fire
    But I guess you just ain’t nothing but a motherfuckin’ liar

    You treat me like I’m worthless, but you’ll miss me when it’s over
    You think you got me on a leash, but you’re no Casanova
    I finally see the truth in you and this is what I see
    I don’t deserve none of your shit and you don’t deserve me

    You’re driftin’ through this life all full of pride and unaware
    You’re actin’ like a toddler somehow confident AND scared
    You puff up big & brave, but tell the truth you wouldn’t dare
    What you did was really hurt me like you never even cared

    I’m holier than thou, but you’re so blindly narcissistic
    You throw out your opinions like you’re Weiner sendin’ dick pics
    It’s gettin’ old real fast and I’m not gonna take your shit
    One day soon I will be over you and maybe it’ll stick

    You treat me like I’m worthless, but you’ll miss me when it’s over
    You think you got me on a leash, but you’re no Casanova
    I finally see the truth in you and this is what I see
    I don’t deserve none of your shit and you don’t deserve me

    You act like you’re the greatest of them all, but I’m not useless
    You think you’re smart as Stephen Hawking, but you’re really clueless
    It’s gettin’ old real fast and I’m not gonna take your shit
    One day soon I will be over you and you can suck my clit

    You treat me like I’m worthless, but you’ll miss me when it’s over
    You think you got me on a leash, but you’re no Casanova
    I finally see the truth in you and this is what I see
    I don’t deserve none of your shit and you don’t deserve me

    Yeah, I don’t deserve none of your shit and you don’t deserve me

    Do You See Me?

    Available in the print collection Photographic Memories: 7even Author’s Edition available on Amazon now HERE

    Do You See Me? by Melodie Yvonne

    Do you see me? ‘Cause I see you
    I don’t know what I’m gonna do
    With all these feelings rushin’ at me
    I just want you to be happy

    But why can’t it just be me?
    Just once why can’t my someone see
    Take one more glance inside my eyes
    And don’t give me no more goodbyes

    Do you see me? ‘Cause I see you
    Those eyes and their electric blue
    I’m lost and drowning in your oceans
    Lost in all your stoic motions

    Lost in all the things you do
    And all the love that makes you you
    Lost in all these frantic notions
    That I just can’t help but hope in

    I just want you to be happy
    In this world that’s pretty crappy
    But I’m lost in all you do
    And all I want’s to be lost in you

    Do you see me? ‘Cause I see you
    I don’t know what I’m gonna do
    With all these feelings rushin’ at me
    I just want you to be happy

    Monotony by Melodie Yvonne

    Boredom wraps around me like a noose around my neck
    If you could die of boredom it’s the closest I could get
    I’ve lost my job and stuck I am up in this horrid mess
    And I’m thinkin’ when it’s over’s kinda anybody’s guess

    I’m goin’ crazy thinkin’ ‘bout how we’ll all make great pets
    For the money that has bought our soul’s accumulated debts
    And when it might be over’s kinda anybody’s guess
    ‘Cause the world has caught on fire and we’re scared of gettin’ wet

    Boredom tightens up that noose there’s not much 02 left
    My mind just goes in circles and it’s keepin’ me adrift
    I scroll and scroll until my eyes are aching in their pits
    And I’m thinkin’ when it’s over’s kinda anybody’s guess

    This tedium’s a medium for cataclysmic stress
    ‘Cause boredom don’t travel alone it travels with its friends
    Depression, gluttony, and apathy they all descend
    And I’m really not quite sure if any of this has an end

    Boredom wraps around me like a noose around my neck
    If you could die of boredom it’s the closest I could get
    I’ve lost my job and stuck I am up in this horrid mess
    And I’m thinkin’ when it’s over’s kinda anybody’s guess

    I’m goin’ crazy thinkin’ ‘bout how we’ll all make great pets
    For the money that has bought our soul’s accumulated debts
    And when it might be over’s kinda anybody’s guess
    ‘Cause the world has caught on fire and we’re scared of gettin’ wet

  • The Evil That Will Be

    The Evil That Will Be

    Available in the print collection Photographic Memories: 7even Author’s Edition available on Amazon now HERE

    The Evil That Will Be by Melodie Yvonne

    Sometimes I just wish I could crawl in and die
    Keep lookin’ around for just one reason why
    But all that I see is another that kills me
    And all of the evil that someday just will be

    All that I see is the faces of horror
    The blood and the sins that surround us like auras
    And pick off our minds each one at a time
    While we all put on masks and pretend that we’re fine

    All that I see is the end drawing nearer
    But not close enough because all of this fear hurts
    All that I want is just someone to get me
    Or maybe just someone that wouldn’t forget me

    Sometimes I just wish I could crawl in and die
    Keep lookin’ around for just one reason why
    But all that I see is another that kills me
    And all of the evil that someday just will be

  • Foolish

    Foolish

    Available in the print collection Photographic Memories: 7even Author’s Edition available on Amazon now HERE

    Foolish by Melodie Yvonne

    If there’s anyone else to blame then I blame you
    If it wasn’t all my fault then have some too
    It only took one trusted friend and that was you
    If there’s anyone else to blame then I blame you

    It only took one person to cross that line
    It only took one person to make me blind
    I was lookin’ for somethin’ from you I’d never find
    And you should’ve gave me love not just a hooker’s bribe

    If there’s anyone else to blame then I blame you
    If it wasn’t all my fault then have some too
    It only took one trusted friend and that was you
    If there’s anyone else to blame then I blame you

    I know it’s all my fault, so who am I to say
    That you started all the trouble that has come my way
    But keeping you here in my life each passing day
    Drags me further the down wrong way of a packed freeway

    You drive a 100 mph and just stand still
    You’re the reason people shouldn’t have free will
    All your drama grows and oozes like an oil spill
    And I gotta say I think I’ve finally had my fill

    If there’s anyone else to blame then I blame you
    If it wasn’t all my fault then have some too
    It only took one trusted friend and that was you
    If there’s anyone else to blame then I blame you

    How the hell can you just sit there in disguise
    The evil washes over you before my eyes
    And I don’t know how the hell I’m somehow still surprised
    By your constant never ending list of alibis

    If there’s anyone else to blame then I blame you
    If it wasn’t all my fault then have some too
    It only took one trusted friend and that was you
    And it’s time to say goodbye now ‘cause I think we’re through.

  • Waitin’

    Waitin’

    Available in the updated print collection Photographic Memories: 7even Author’s Edition available on Amazon now HERE

    Waitin’ by Melodie Yvonne

    I sit and wonder what’s the point
    And then I smoke another joint
    It’s not enough to just exist here
    Wanna live but swallowed by fear

    Wanna fight but I’m so tired
    Don’t wanna go another mile
    So then I just get stuck and sit here
    Waitin’ ’til the future gets clear

    I’m just waitin’ in my room
    Been layin’ here since way passed noon
    With all these thoughts just comin’ at me
    Wish I could just let ’em have me

    Wish I could just let me go
    And give up everything I know
    Wish I could just hit a button
    And see what the fuck’s a-coming

    Wish I could just make you see me
    And then maybe you could free me
    But I can’t so I just sit here
    Waitin’ til my future gets clear

    But it just keeps gettin’ fuzzy
    How can you care? I don’t love me
    All I am’s a lump that sits here
    Barely in and barely out there

    All I am’s a waste of time
    Even if I give you mine
    So now I’m stuck and I just sit here
    Wishin’ I could draw your heart near

    I’m just waitin’ in my room
    Been layin’ here since way passed noon
    With all these thoughts just comin’ at me
    Wish I could just let ’em have me

    I’m just waitin’ for the ending
    ‘Cause I’m just so done pretending
    I just want it to be over
    And I dont want to be sober

    So I just curl up and lay here
    Waitin’ for the coast to be clear
    Waitin’ for that happy ending
    If I could just go back to dreaming

    I’m just waitin’ in my room
    Been layin’ here since way passed noon
    With all these thoughts just comin’ at me
    Wish I could just let ’em have me

  • Prefacing, Unchanging, Freebasing Time Wasting

    Prefacing, Unchanging, Freebasing Time Wasting

    This piece is in the re-released print collection, Photographic Memories: 7even – Author’s Edition, available here now

    Moving Along by Melodie Yvonne

    If only I could go back, and slip in between time’s little cracks
    I don’t know if I’d change it, but maybe I just might not waste it
    Wasted time here waitin’… spent too much time on expectations
    Too much time down on my knees, polite and quiet, just tryin’ to please
    And see it got me nowhere… a waste of space… takin’ up air
    A punchline that you quote… then sit and laugh while I lose hope

    But I am what I made me… a mess of words I wrote while waiting
    Screamed into the silence, but echoed words don’t heal the quiet
    And I’m not sure I got out of all those years trapped in this house
    ‘Cause here’s still where I sit… wonderin’ if I wasted it
    And here’s still where I stay, year after year I type away
    A circle in my madness swirling infinite colors of sadness

    That I look back and say… did I waste those years that got away?

    Moving Along by Melodie Yvonne

    Hold my breath to hide this sadness
    Can’t find my grip in this madness
    And I’m begging you to take it back

    I know I’m here at my weakest
    Wish you could have somehow seen us
    But you left my heart a ravaged mass

    You used me to hit rock bottom
    Then you left me there forgotten
    Head’s still spinning ‘cause you left so fast

    Don’t know how I’ll piece together
    Shattered glass in a tornado
    Wish that you would help but I can’t ask

    ‘Cause I forgot to set the line
    And tell you if you break you buy
    So now you done moved on and I’m the past.

  • In a weak

    In a weak

    This piece is in the Valentine’s Day Special release Tu Me Manques: Poèmes d’amour – available HERE NOW

    In a weak by Melodie Yvonne

    I like it when you say my name
    Three syllables long yet you remain
    And when I feel your gentle touch
    I’m twitterpated oh so much

    I wonder what it’s like to touch you
    And if there’s really stars above you
    I wonder ‘bout your lips and kisses
    And if I’ll ever get to miss those

    I close my eyes and see your blue ones
    And wonder if you know I match them
    I feel your hands ensnare my waist
    And now my heart begins to race

    But just when we are face to face
    I lose my nerve and fall from grace
    I hope one day you’ll know love’s true
    And all my fires envelop you

  • Shattered

    Shattered

    This piece will be in the upcoming collection Photographic Memories: Nein — available here soon

    Shattered by Melodie Yvonne

    Everyone I’ve ever helped has took a piece of me
    I’m a jigsaw with just edges, and my middle’s all empty
    My puzzled heart’s all broken wonderin’ what on earth I’ve done
    I’m a shattered stained glass window echoing hurt with the sun

    My friend whose husband cheated and I helped her through divorce
    Suddenly had no time for me once her life righted course
    The guy that had my heart and led me on ‘til he was fixed
    Had no time for my depression if I wouldn’t suck his dick

    Everyone I’ve ever helped has left me far behind
    Good enough for that rock bottom, but not that Good Life
    Just trashy enough that you know I’m not gonna judge you
    but not classy enough to get to hang out with the “real” you

    Everyone I’ve ever helped has took a piece of me
    Foundation’s gone and now I am collapsing underneath
    My pieced-out heart’s so broken it just won’t fit back together
    And if I don’t get help real soon I fear I’ll stay shattered forever.
