    Takin’ Up Space by Melodie Yvonne

    Just sittin’ around takin’ up space on your porch,
    Sittin’ around makin’ it skunk.
    It could be worse in my head I guess…
    I’m way worse in my head when I’m drunk.

    I’m wastin away everday
    Still feelin’ so very senseless
    But being inside your bright aura I’m weightless,
    And feelin’ a little less useless.

    Just sittin’ around takin up space on your couch,
    Sittin around makin’ it skunk.
    It could be waaay worse in my head I guess….
    I’m way worse when I’m feelin’ the funk.

    Just sittin’ around takin’ up space in your heart’
    Sittin’ around makin’ it skunk
    Well, it could be worse
    It could be sooo worse
    I’m still worse in my head when I’m drunk.

    Smile

    Excuse me, Sir… Is There a Room Available? by Melodie Yvonne

    Is there a world where you could want me? Somewhere we could be?
    Is there a life where you could be here wrapped all around me?
    Is there somehow a little bit of room left in your heart
    for just a little piece of me like lightning in a jar

    Are you ever missin’ me? Thinkin’ ‘bout us at all?
    Do you know my eyes are oceans sittin’ waitin’ for your call?
    Can you feel me longing for you one more fucking day?
    Or are you just there wishin’ you could drink me all away?

    Is there a universe where we could watch the stars at night?
    A world where you would want me back and make it all all right?
    A galaxy where there’s somehow a me and you at all?
    A little bit of me in you like lightning in a jar

    Is there a world where you could love me? Somewhere we could be?
    Is there a life where you could be here wrapped all around me?
    Is there somehow a little bit of room left in your heart
    Where you could maybe think of givin’ you and me a start?

    Is there a way that maybe you could crack that door an inch?
    Or if you can’t then maybe I could get a little hint
    ‘Cause, darlin’, I’m still thinkin’ ‘bout you every night and day
    Another ghost hauntin’ my heart, a broken effigy

    Did I make a better man for someone else to love?
    ‘Cause all those words you said to me done got me all fucked up
    And here I am wantin’ you again long after I moved on
    But here you are popped up again like you think it’s your job

    How come you made me want you and then took it all away?
    Is there a night that maybe you would ever let me stay?
    Is that no vacancy sign still lit up outside your heart?
    Or are you ready for a little lightning in a jar?

    Is there a world where you could love me? Somewhere we could be?
    Is there a life where you could be here wrapped all around me?
    Is there somehow a little bit of room left in your heart
    Where I can cuddle up and live like lightning in a jar

    Where I can cuddle up and love like lightning in your heart

  • Live Reading of “Patterns” at Indy Type Shop

    Live Reading of “Patterns” at Indy Type Shop

    Watch below the live reading of “Patterns” from my Methlehem Release Party at Indy Type Shop in Indianapolis, Indiana on December 12, 2025.

    ⚠️ Explicit Content Warning: Methelehem and the below poem contains depictions of drug use, violence, and sexual content.

    Patterns by Melodie Yvonne

    You dragged me right on back down in it
    Wish I had the strength to quit it
    But I just don’t have the strength to quit you

    It’s just one more for old time’s sake
    It’s just one more, love, you won’t break
    It’s safe if we just have a little fun too

    And that was that enough of chat
    You’ve got that purrin’ in my cat
    You know for you there’s not too much I won’t do

    And suddenly I feel alive
    But it’s ok just one more time
    And I sure missed this feeling like my brain’s new

    And now your dick’s hard as a rock
    I’ve got that fucking shit on lock
    And no one out there seen where we took off to

    We cut it through the parking lot
    Done got one hand down on his cock
    And I’m about to give this guy a run through

    But ‘fore we get the van door open
    On my knees already chokin’
    You push me on in and push it on through

    You whisper that your gonna cum
    I whisper back a lil, “Yum”
    But you pull out my mouth and fuck my wet cooch

    You ram it in me hard and thick
    Addicted to your gorgeous dick
    This van is rockin’ like it’s gettin’ fucked loose

    We take a break, I saddle up
    We’ve only just began to fuck
    I keep on ramming while I take a hit too

    That big thick smoke fills up my brain
    Your big thick cock fucks me insane
    And I’m about to have a phallic breakthrough

    Forever I could live like this
    Just me and your huge perfect dick
    And this time I know that your gonna stay too

    We share a hit now we’re connected
    You’re all in me up and down and
    I squeeze myself tighter all around you

    You spray it on me warm and thick
    Perfect jiz from a perfect dick
    You glance the time and tell me you had fun too

    You rush me right on out the door
    Sorry you don’t got time for more
    You lie to me and say you’ll see me real soon

    Still

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

    Still by Melodie Yvonne

    I still think about you all of the time
    You bounce back and forth in the rooms in my mind
    And I don’t know why or if you’re there to stay
    But I’m so sick of cryin’ ‘bout you every day

    I’ll never know why it’s deeper for me
    Don’t know why I thought you really liked me
    Don’t know why I thought our souls were on fire
    Guess I want you so much that I’s in denial

    I know you moved on but it’s hurtin’ me still
    Am I just hung up or are my feelings real?
    Wish I had known you’d be runnin’ so quickly
    Wish I had known you’s the last I’d have in me

    Wonderin’ if you know the damage you done
    when you was just tryin’ to have you some fun
    And I don’t know why I thought I deserved better
    Don’t know why I thought you’d pick me and forget her

    I still think about you all of the time
    You still occupy all these rooms in my mind
    And I don’t know why or if I can evict you
    But I’m scared I’m cursed and I’ll never forget you

  • The Ceiling

    The Ceiling

    This piece can be found in the print collection Methlehem — available here

    The Ceiling by Melodie Yvonne

    You break my fucking heart and then chastise for having feelings
    You slice my soul wide open then you yelled at me for bleeding
    But still somehow I miss you and my body aches for leaving
    And all I can do is cry now and just stare up at the ceiling

    My knees are breaking from all of the time that I spent kneeling
    The part of me I gave I didn’t know that you were stealing
    But every single tear I’ve cried would all be worth repeating
    If I thought for just one second it’d help you with your healing

    But every single second was a second you were leading
    Collecting all of me wasn’t enough, you got so greedy
    You got me all addicted, but then turned and called me needy
    Screamed at me you needed air and then you guilted me for breathing

    You told me you need space, but won’t give me the space I’m needing
    I thought I was in love with you, but love is so deceiving
    I tried to douse our dumpster fire, but you just gasoline it
    So all I can do is cry now and just stare up at the ceiling

    Perceptions

    Perceptions by Melodie Yvonne

    I thought you were twitterpated, but you thought I charged
    I hoped maybe we’d find love, but your dick was just hard
    I thought I would get to know you, you said please don’t tell
    I forgave and let you go but I’m not doin’ so well

    I thought maybe you came back to give me one more chance
    But you took what you needed then you turned around and left
    And I just don’t know what to do now I don’t trust myself
    ‘Cause you said that I meant the world then you picked someone else

    I thought you would get to know me maybe let me in
    I wouldn’t have moved so fast if I’d have known that that was it
    But I always follow my heart and I thought I was right
    But I guess I was wrong ‘cause I’m alone again tonight

    I thought if I hoped real hard you’d maybe change your mind
    But I thought that you liked me and you were just being nice
    I thought you were fucking epic, you offered me cash
    Tryin’ to silence all your guilt and get the fuck out fast

    You done took off light speed, but I thought you was just busy
    Absence makes the heart grow fonder, I thought you would miss me
    Still somehow I thought if you could see my heart you’d take it
    All that make believe couldn’t imagine how you’d break it

    I thought when that phone rang I was getting one more chance
    Hyped up movie bullshit thinkin’ I deserve romance
    And I just don’t know what to do now and I hate myself
    ‘Cause you said that I meant the world, but you’re with someone else

    Pall Mall 100s In An Orange Box by Melodie Yvonne

    Pall mall 100s in an orange box
    Carryin’ hiedi ‘cause she’s feelin lost
    Saddlin’ me like I’m a mule
    She rides me like I’m a fool

    Vodka leers and cigarette smiles
    Light her eyes just like a child
    But she’s feelin’ rather edgy
    Waitin’ on my slow ass lefty

    Pall mall 100s in an orange box
    She likes it straight not on the rocks
    Speakin’ her truths feisty as fuck
    Think you’re hard she’ll prove you’re not

    Walk in the door she struts her stuff
    Bendin’ for only her pill poppin’ pup
    But now again she’s feelin’ edgy
    Waitin’ on my slow ass lefty

    Pall Mall 100s in an orange box
    Drivin’ down ninth feelin’ for cops
    Oldies on benches like corner whores
    Secret dialed codes unlockin’ doors

    Spirited tongue and nicotine lips
    Shelves full of Elvis’s swivelin’ hips
    Arthritic feet shuffle the floor
    Horoscope ashtray sits by the door

    Pall Mall 100s in an orange box
    Hiedi’s there now so I can get lost
    Ridin’ down slow crossin’ the lot
    Doubled up bitches callin’ shots

    Drive away slow, miss her already
    Headin’ back home ‘cause it keeps me steady
    This time it’s me who’s feelin’ edgy
    Time to burn my slow ass lefty

    Just Like You by Melodie Yvonne

    You gave me your story just like the crow and
    behind my eyes it throbs and throws tantrums

    I wanna still die a bit every day and
    waking without you just makes me insane

    You built me so high, so high that I flew and
    I always wanted to be just like you

    The you that I know, though, not you that your lies hid
    The truth has a way to catch up and it’s frightening

    Now what I see is you wanna be me and
    tell you the truth I wanna be free and

    my runnin’ away is runnin’ inside but
    these walls that I built just won’t let me hide in

    You built me so high, so high that I flew and
    I always wanted to be just like you

    The you that I know, though, not you that your lies hid
    The truth has a way to catch up and it’s frightening

    Innocence killed when that monster killed you and
    we’re all undone by a tall tale that grew one

    Fifteen years gone now our lives fall away and
    I still wanna save you most every day

    You built me so high, so high that I flew and
    I always wanted to be just like you

    The you that I know, though, not you that your lies hid
    Your truth had a way with my heart and it’s frightened

    Your truth had its way with my heart and it’s frightened
    Your truth had its way with my soul and I’m frightened
    Your truth had its way now I’m frightened

    All My Fault by Melodie Yvonne

    All you are is all my fault
    You’re just an endless pit of want
    And if I ever did forget you
    You’d be dead no one to let you

    All you are is all my fault
    You blame me for your stupid stunts
    And if I wasn’t here to let you
    You’d find someone else to get to

    All you are is all my fault
    All you are is all my fault

    Both of what we are are sins
    I enable, I defend
    But you point blame & then provoke me
    Now you’ve finally gone & broke me

    All you are is all my fault
    I gave you everything you want
    But now it’s time I did forget you
    Go find someone else to let you

    All you are is all my fault
