The Sorry Girl by Melodie Yvonne

The sorry girl’s sorry even when she’s silent
The sorry girl doesn’t say goodbye
The sorry girl knows everything’s her fault
When they look her in the eyes and lie

She sits in the dark and cries, and hides those tear stains to go outside
She sits in my mind and cries, and keeps my feelings buried on the inside

This wary girl’s tired, but she keeps a-movin’
This worried girl’s locked inside her brain
This weird girl’s hidin’, but she keeps a-lurkin’
Tryin’ to hide the fact that she’s insane

She sits in the dark and cries, and hides those bruises to go outside
She sits in my mind and cries, a tangled up straight jacket deep inside

This broken girl duct tapes shit together
This lonely girl’s photographs are her only friends
This empty girl can’t fill her head with silence
I’ll miss my quiet rapture when the silence ends

I sit in the dark and cry, and I hide all my bruises to go outside
I sit in my mind and cry, I’m silent, but I’m still sorry on the inside

I just realized the Love we lost would have been 18 this year… all grown up ❤ This is dedicated to her and my beautiful Hazie. I know you don’t have internet out there, Hazie, but I know you feel me in your head right now…

Zoe Yvonne Love by Melodie Yvonne

Tears have fallen
down our cheeks
you see our hearts are breaking.

Hand in hand we
pray for Love that
was so quickly taken.

Hold us closely
never go and
leave us all alone,

For now the only
Love that lingers
has been etched in stone.

♥♥♥

3 Years by Melodie Yvonne

3 years have past since Love has gone.
3 years Love should have grown.
If I had seen 3 years of heartache
I’d seen what I had known.

3 years of how could, what if, why.
3 years Love set in stone.
Will comfort be in knowledge that
she’s spread her wings and flown?

3 years in time will drift away.
I blink… 3 more are gone,
but 3 more years will not forget
the Love that has been wronged.

3 YEARS

WE LOVE YOU
MOMMIES ALWAYS LOVE YOU

Material Lord by Melodie Yvonne

This hometown feeling’s a pit in my soul
It keeps me reeling and ready to go
An illegal alien to all those I know
They watch and they gasp at my mobile freakshow

Feed me the Lord ’cause you think it’ll fix me
I’m filled to the brim with your gluttonous teachings
but I’m not your whore and you can’t unbreak me
and all this material shit I don’t envy

Where am I at if I don’t have a home?
A pile of crap and I’m chewin’ on bones
What do I do with this knowledge I know?
Throw it away ’cause the listener’s broke

Feed me the Lord ’cause you think it’ll fix me
I’m filled to the brim with your gluttonous teachings
but I’m not your whore and you can’t unbreak me
and all this material shit just don’t faze me

You claim no religion, I say you’re a fraud
You say my depression is spiritual fog
Well, not once in this life did you spare the rod
so I’ll never trade my Dog for your God

Feed me the Lord ’cause you think it’ll fix me
I’m filled to the brim with your gluttonous teachings
but I’m not your whore and you can’t unbreak me
Your bullshit material world will not change me

I Own Me by Melodie Yvonne

All this time it’s been my heart
inside breaking mine.
All these years it’s been myself
as enemy I find.
All this sadness, all this rage
that tears myself apart,
I did this and I did that!
I broke my own heart.
All this love that’s come undone,
all this hate I made,
every agony I felt in
every heart I break,
Every misery I felt,
every heart I lost,
all this time I couldn’t see that
myself was the cost.

Ode to a Freezing Valentine’s Day by Melodie Yvonne

How can you be so cruel,
when my heart’s lying there on the floor?

How come you just can’t see,
this realio trulio heart in me?

I went naked where I wanted to hide,
and all you did was lied while I cried.

I went naked all up in my brain,
but all you did was call me insane.

How can you be so cruel,
drag me around and make me your fool?

How come you just cant be free?
You realio trulio don’t get me.

Why can’t you let yourself feel?
Writhe in it with me until it is real!

Busy as busy as busy does,
it’s all just a place to hide under your rug.
