Why don’t I love?
For this love is a
possessive obsession to handle.

It’s a constraint,
sealing you mine forever.

So just flee—
or better,
not come at all.


For it's a Red envelope,
A prison house… or love?
My limitless love !
I crave sadness
like an addict
with a needle.
Come dance with me
Let’s touch the stars
Baila conmigo
Let’s listen to romantic music
Come walk with me
Anda conmigo
Come explore the world with me
Let’s see all there is to see
Let’s watch the stars dance
Watch the moon watching us
Let’s smell the roses
Vamos oler las rosas
Come laugh with me
Give me one hundred smiles
Come be with me
Ven conmigo
Forever
Chemtrails poke holes through my stomach
Blood drips from my esophagus
Pet names carve my aorta
My veins tie knots in my wrist
Steady,
I sink in this strange abyss.


-Melanie Munoz
I wrote this in hopes of expressing my lack of control over my body, and this world we live in.
"Why do you think that?"
"I live my entire life under the assumption that everyone hates me."
"Sounds lonely as hell."
"You have no idea."
I want to grow
into the bright,
positive young woman
I deserve to be
but your holding me back
let go
please
let
go.
