    The Silence of I Love You by Melodie Yvonne

    I love you eternally,
    I love you complete.
    I love you, you gave me
    when we two hath meet.

    I love you found in your eyes,
    I love you in mine.
    Dare we two shall say aloud
    the I love you we find?

    I love you was at first sight,
    consumes my mind and soul.
    I love you with all my heart,
    from first glance ‘til we grow.

    I love you this all is true,
    as you wish I’ve found.
    I love you I’ll tell you soon,
    from first your lips must sound.

    Baby in the Corner by Melodie Yvonne

    I feel your vibes all jived with mine for only just one moment
    We energized the air & now I can’t control it
    And if I do I’ll just spend all that time regrettin’
    I’ll never be perfect enough a girl for you to let in.

    So why I gotta fret so much & cause a bunch of trouble?
    I said I let my heart out, but it’s still here in a bubble
    I’m hopin’ you will have the patience & the time to bust it
    Before I’ve bursted into flames after I’ve self-combusted.

    My mind & body tingle as I feel your soul get near
    My heart is cryin’ out to yours so loud I’m scared you’ll hear
    But maybe if I hide it in these pages & these rhymes
    I can tuck my feelings all away somewhere you’ll never find

    I feel your vibes all jived with mine for only just one moment
    We energized the air so much I’m fightin’ to control it
    You’re fannin’ all my fires & now the flames are goin’ crazy
    I’m Baby in the corner & darlin’, you’re my Patrick Swayze

    I’m feelin’ all your vibes with mine & now I can’t control it
    It’s fluid lust filled chemistry & my love keeps on growin’
    And if we ever come together we could light the sky
    If only for a moment I could finally catch your eye

    The Boneyard by Melodie Yvonne

    My friends list is a graveyard for my exes
    It’s a place where people live that used to call me “bestie”
    It’s a silent unseen mass I judge myself against
    It’s a lifelong list of all the “friends” that just came and went

    Then there’s heartache in the “suggestions” there’s the girl that stole my husband
    If you can read my mind to sell stuff why not fix that?
    2000 little faces all look back at me and say
    I’m your “friend”, so why am I alone tonight?

    My friends list is a living cemetery
    where people with no time for me check “like” and call it caring
    and I don’t know how we will all survive
    building cities of the dead while still alive

    A Beautiful Mess Like Me – Tu Me Manques Edition

    This piece will be in the upcoming collection Tu Me Manques: Poèmes d’amour – available here soon

    A Beautiful Mess Like Me by Melodie Yvonne

    You are a beautiful mess just like me
    I see in your arms my safe place to be free
    but we are two fools that can’t get it together
    writhing in silence through furious weather

    Damaged and broken with rot in our cores
    How could we expect to be loved any more
    when most of our feelings come off of cold labels
    and real true romance only happens in fables

    Barely just found my heart’s torn apart pieces
    Scared of your mind and the lust it unleashes
    Blindingly juxtaposed and we’re in pieces
    Is this just lust or do I really feel this?

    A peek in your heart made my soul want to dance
    so a look in your eyes is a glance I can’t chance
    Locking our soul windows might bring us near
    but this soul recognition’s now something I fear

    The cold in the dark sent me runnin’ away
    but it wasn’t the real reason I didn’t stay
    Scared that you’ll love me but scared you’ll reject me
    Fearing I’ll ruin you, afraid you’ll infect me

    Barely just met you and my mind’s in pieces
    Torn between running and riding your jesus
    Blindingly jaded we picked up our pieces
    We’re comfortably numb, let carnality feed us

    You are a beautiful mess just like me
    I see in your eyes my safe place to be free
    but we’re still two fools that can’t get it together
    and love lost in silence we’ll miss our forever

  • Tu Me Manques: Poèmes d’amour Coming SOON for Valentine’s Day!

    Tu Me Manques: Poèmes d’amour Coming SOON for Valentine’s Day!

    Coming soon for Valentine’s Day, Tu Me Manques: Poèmes d’amour is a tender collection of love poems written in longing, hope, and quiet devotion. Co-authored with my favorite collaborator, Mitchell Odom, this book is for crushes, soulmates, and the ones who hold our hearts, even from afar.

    This project felt especially intimate to create. These poems came from moments of wanting, remembering, and loving softly, sometimes without certainty and sometimes without return. Writing them reminded me how powerful it is to let love exist in its own time, without pressure or expectation. If you’ve ever loved deeply, missed someone quietly, or held space for a feeling you didn’t quite know how to share, I hope this book becomes a love letter that bridges the distance from your heart to theirs.

    Discontinued by Melodie Yvonne

    I still remember that way that you loved me
    at least I thought that’s what love was.
    your face when you were trying to impress me…
    it was just the charm you bought at the bar.

    You shined like the brightest penny
    but they discontinued that coin right after I met you
    I don’t remember which of you ran out first
    but I know you were discontinued too

    You hit unsubscribe on the love that I offered
    until I had no love left to give
    You didn’t care what toll it cost me
    You took everything I had in the end

    I don’t know now how to unknot this
    This noose that you left in my heart and my brain
    I guess now it’s just time that’ll end us
    and maybe one day I’ll be free of your name

    Takin’ Up Space

    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?

    Excuse me, Sir… Is There a Room Available?

    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

    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
