    Oxies and Roxies and Suboxies! Oh my! by Melodie Yvonne

    Oxies and Roxies and Suboxies! Oh my!
    Sometimes I think it’d be easier to die
    But I just keep truckin’ along in this mess
    Tryin’ to salvage each day and move onto the next

    Oxies and Roxies and Suboxies! Oh my!
    If I stop to think it’ll just make me cry
    I’ve been living this life an I for an eye
    Now I am trying to bury these terrible lies

    My whole fucking life is just covered in piss
    Like a hoe spraying GG’s mouth straight from her clit
    I might as well jump in and get me a bit
    ’Cause I’m already writhin’ and drownin’ in shit

    Oxies and Roxies and Suboxies! Oh my!
    If I stop to think it’ll just make me cry
    I’ve been livin’ this life an eye for an I
    Now I am tryin’ to bury these terrible lies

    I really wish that I could just die
    But the money’s so good and it’s just one more time
    Oxies and Roxies and Suboxies! Oh my!
    At least I got friends here along for the ride

    Oxies and Roxies and Suboxies! Oh my!
    Sometimes I think it’d be easier to die
    But I just keep truckin’ along in this mess
    Tryin’ to salvage each day and move onto the next

    Oxies and Roxies and Suboxies! Oh my!
    If I stop to think it’ll just make me cry
    I’ve been livin’ this life an eye for an I
    Now I’m trying to stop or I think I might die

    I just gotta learn how to swim one more day
    Fuck Calgon, fuck me, and just take me away
    Klonopin, Morphine, and Xannies, Oh my!
    It’s not quite enough, but it’ll get me by…

    Oxies and Roxies and Suboxies! Oh my!!!

  • Bean Soup

    Bean Soup

    Bean Soup by Melodie Yvonne

    A hydro strung necklace and Vicodin leash
    makes me follow him quiet like a good lil leech
    He follows his momma, still suckles her teats
    He’s just sweet as puddin’ as long as he feeds

    He’ll open my doors and hug me so tight
    then steal from my purse when I crash for the night
    Snatch all my shit and argue his rights
    Then hide in the toilet and fuck his fleshlight

    Hides behind charms and a smile that melts ice
    My Jose gets warm, his heart chills it quite nice
    Knowing he’s wrong he’ll convince me he’s right
    and then all again he’s in my bed tonight

    Lock up your pills and lock up your wife
    Not joshin’ you this guy will fuck up your life
    He’ll make you pity his make-believe strife
    He’ll suck you right in while twistin’ that knife

    But I just can’t help it he’s got them bright eyes
    And I know it looks bad but he wouldn’t lie
    It’s just a small fib and nobody died
    And I just can’t help it I get butterflies
     
    You’d understand if you knew him like I did
    I can’t explain but he had a bad childhood
    He’s just so sensitive plus that dick’s magic
    So it’ll be worth it even if it ends tragic

    Just leave him alone this man is my king
    Nobody talks that way ‘bout him ‘cept me
    And we’re ride or die ‘til the day that we’re free
    You mess with my man you’re messin’ with me

    On The Job Training by Melodie Yvonne

    Got a new job… faked my way in, but I gotta pay out some bail
    My old man got nabbed just tryin’ to help and now he is goin’ through hell
    So least I can do is start earnin’ my keep and I always know how to slip in
    A little white lie and a toss of the hair paired with my “I swallow” grin

    Been here a month, got called up to the glass and I’m scared I may done got busted
    Shoulda known gettin’ fake piss for the test from CSL couldn’t be trusted
    But fuck it I’ll face it I done been through worse and maybe I’ll finally get lucky
    I head up the stairs for those giant glass rooms reflectin’ back my face above me

    Walk through the dark tinted mirrored glass doors and I finally get a taste of the top
    I’m hopin’ I don’t get thrown out on my ass so I gotta give all that I got
    My boss throws my background check out on the desk but it sure ain’t the one that I slipped him
    Looks like he got someone in the backdoor at the fucking department of corrections

    He slides the file in front of my face with a smirk I know all too familiar
    Then pulls out a vial and cuts one on top it and throws a rolled 50 down center
    I giggle with glee and take it on in while he smirks and then slips me another
    Then roughly he pulls me on over to him but I’m already his without struggle

    He holds my gaze while his hands wrap my throat and he shoves his tongue into my mouth
    I suck it on in and I dry hump his leg while he teasingly gets his cock out
    He pulls my skirt up and my thong to the side but I pull back and drop on my knees
    I ram it on into the back of my throat while his hips pump like a fuck machine

    I gurgle with pleasure and beg him for more while he jerks me up fast by my hair
    But just as he bends me down over his desk we hear some steps out on the stairs
    I gather my shit and put it together just as the dumb bitch swings the door
    Fuck me now I got myself female blue balls I swear I will get that dumb whore

  • Goodbye to Denial

    Goodbye to Denial

    This piece is in the print collection Methlehem — available here

    Goodbye to Denial by Melodie Yvonne

    The time I found your gear was like a bullet to my gut
    I wondered if there’d ever be a time you’d say enough
    I thought of all the lies and all the time I spent denyin’
    But the blinds are off my eyes now and I’m just so sick of tryin’

    Now it’s finally time I’m sayin’ goodbye to denial
    My heart’s done with all your lies and now your soul’s on trial
    Constant lies and alibis are catchin’ up to find ya
    Darlin’, now it’s finally time I’m sayin’ goodbye to denial

    You’re gettin’ half the message and you’re gettin’ that half wrong
    I used to want you by my side but now I want you gone
    The difference in your demons are as plain as night and day
    Now I’ve got just two words left for you and those are go away

    Now it’s finally time I’m sayin’ goodbye to denial
    My heart’s done with all your lies and now your soul’s on trial
    Constant lies and alibis are catchin’ up to find ya
    Darlin’, now it’s finally time I’m sayin’ goodbye to denial

    Originally published online Dec 21, 2024 & will be in the upcoming print collection Oxies and Roxies and Suboxies! Oh my!: A Tornado of Love, Lust, Addiction, and Loss — available here soon

    The Negotiation by Melodie Yvonne

    The drugs work fast, but not fast enough
    I just need a break enough is enough

    Everybody’s doing it why the fuck can’t I?
    I’m done tryin’ to control this I’m saying goodbye

    You don’t know what you’re doing this isn’t the way
    Why won’t you listen to anything that I say?

    I know what’s right and I know you’re wrong
    If you’re not gonna listen, you might as well be gone

    I love you don’t leave me I just need a minute
    I just need a minute to try to forget it
    This menagerie of shit inside of my brain
    I can’t fucking do it. I’m going insane

    I can’t fucking do it. I’m going insane
    I can quit anytime I’m just still in pain

    I can quit anytime you don’t know me at all
    Shit I gotta go. I gotta give my doctor a call

  • Killin’ Raven

    Killin’ Raven

    This piece is in the print collection Methlehem — available here

    Killin’ Raven by Melodie Yvonne

    If you’d have come straight home from work
    I wouldn’t think you’re such a jerk
    Believe me wasting all my time
    Is not a small victimless crime

    If he can’t stand strong by himself
    It’s a slippery road right straight to hell
    So if you love him make him stronger
    By not enabling him any longer

    I’m just sittin’ here tryin’ to help you
    But you gotta help yourself too
    ‘Cause you’re busy helpin’ demons
    Empowerin’ them to take your humans

    With all my love it’s truth I’m speakin’
    Wanna help you fight your demons
    But my love for you ain’t different
    Than your love that’s killin’ Raven

    Let him stand strong by himself
    If he loves you he’ll go get help
    But if he doesn’t then let go
    These hard truths I’ve come to know

    And if he can’t stand strong himself
    It’s a slippery road right straight to hell
    So if you love him make him stronger
    Don’t you help him any longer

    With all my love it’s truth I’m speakin’
    Wanna help you fight your demons
    But my love for you ain’t different
    Than your love that’s killin’ Raven

    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

    Payin’ the Rent aka Save Some Cash Ride A Slum Lord by Melodie Yvonne

    Three Foot Frank got Big & Rich off stealin’ people’s souls
    A slum lord down in a small town that meth done swallowed whole
    But that town ain’t the only thing down in it gettin’ swallowed
    Ole Three Foot Frank’s got 9 inches lookin’ for mouths to hollow

    Late on rent? Well, It’s all good! Ole Three Foot’s got your back
    And it don’t matter if you’re runnin’ kinda short on cash
    ‘Cause he’s kinda short too so he will always understand
    Just out there doin’ the Lord’s work ole Human Tripod Man

    He’ll put that stick straight down your craw, but first he’ll buy ya pizza
    ‘Cause he’s a gentleman at heart and always glad to meet ya
    Happy to share a sip of vodka ‘fore he plugs your throat
    It’s the least that he can do for you ‘fore you swallow his load

    He’ll cuddle and caress ya and admire your perty smile
    Then lead ya out there to his van to get it on in style
    But when he drops his drawers that shit can get a bit confusing
    It’s hard to tell which ones are legs and which one will start jizzing

    You rub him just a lil more to see which one gets hard
    And then you take him off your lap onto the driver’s side
    You make it feel like road head as his toes stroke through your hair
    ‘Cause he’s used to drivin’ with his hands his feet don’t reach down there

    But all in all it’s just a day of work to pay the rent
    The same alike as Taco Bell more chance of syphilis
    But either way the bills are paid and now your belly’s full up
    And you got four more weeks ‘fore Three Foot Frank will choke your gullet

    Methrouplis by Melodie Yvonne

    Been fucking with this guy, but he’s been gettin’ a bit boring
    His dope dealer come by and I ain’t tryin’ to be a whore but
    My God this fucker’s hot and I just want a bit of play
    Well what you know he’s down to fuck and so is his old lady

    My old man is gold he knows sometimes I need some strange
    So I follow meth guy home thirsty for a dirty three way
    But soon as we get there this dumb ass has to tie one off
    Bangin’ meth ‘fore he bangs me and now he’s got fucking limp cock

    So I’m just tryin’ to enjoy my buzz and now I gotta fluff it
    This love triangle ain’t worth the time it’s just a giant buzz kill
    And I’m still sittin’ here all horny dyin’ to get one off
    But fucking meth guy’s sittin’ flaccid and his girl starts to go off

    Of course these crazy bitches end up bein’ fucking toxic
    I just wanna get off! Why they gotta be psychotic?
    But it’s cool least he hooked me up for wastin’ all my time
    Weirdest fucking love triangle I been in in my life

    Hollow

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

    Hollow by Melodie Yvonne

    Drag me in the deep end and then tell me that it’s shallow
    All your fucking promises are nothin’ more than hollow
    And now I’m thinkin’ those words don’t mean what you think they mean
    ‘Cause “soon” sure don’t mean “never” and I know you’re ghostin’ me

    Just because you’re polite don’t mean I’m not huffin’ gas
    I breathe it in each time you sit there talkin’ out your ass
    I get all dizzy when you spin that web of lies you’re spewin’
    I don’t know why it’s so damn hard when I know what you’re doin’

    Drag me in the deep end and then tell me that it’s shallow
    All your damn apologies are nothin’ more than hollow
    And now I’m thinkin’ “homiez” don’t mean what you think it means
    ‘Cause real pals feed your soul they don’t just feed you gasoline

    But every piece of me just aches from wantin’ you right here
    Even though I know you’re fake and oh so insincere
    But even though you’re so damn selfish and your ego’s epic
    I can’t help but hop in line each time you start two steppin’

    Drag me in the deep end and then tell me that it’s shallow
    All your hollow promises are gettin’ hard to swallow
    And now I’m thinkin’ your words don’t mean a damn thing to me
    ‘Cause “soon” sure don’t mean “never” and I know you’re ghostin’ me

    Yeah, buddy, I’m chokin’ on fumes and you’re still spewin’ gasoline
    My “homie”, please stop stringin’ my heart and playin’ and makin’ a fool of me
