My eyes flicker like light bulbs
Colors bounce off my retina and into the cold depths of my stomach
Sound waves twist and pulse like my guts
Straining and thrusting inside me
I plucked the stars one by one
And hid them in my bathtub
The steam from the hot water filled my lungs like sweat heavy smoke
My skin glows bright red and melts off my bones
Oozing down the drain
To find a new place to drown
6 feet beneath this moon

-Melanie Munoz
That faith was all I had.

Does the sidewalk feel my feet?
Does the wind notice me?

-Melanie Munoz
*** swishes in my stomach
Shock waves pulse in my blood
Anxiety hugs from within
This world will never know love.

-Melanie Munoz
This town gets quiet after dark.
The wind blows and the trains hum,
The old houses yawn as I pass by,
The pebbles tumble under the weight of my feet,
The corn fields snore, and the crickets whimper in their sleep.
I had looked up at the sky.
The flickering stars and weightless clouds,
The occasional planes filled with hundreds of people,
The rich navy hues in the dark of the sky,
And the big empty moon blowing bubbles in the night.

-Melanie Munoz
I like being alone.
Aching bones and bleeding flesh
My weary soul cries out for rest

-Melanie Munoz
Downtown my lost love
Three grams I smoked none
The bus screeched I stepped on
My drunk thoughts and vile tongue
The cars pass their lights die
The bus stops I walk off
My moms mad my phone rings
I keep on, my songs sing

-Melanie Munoz
I want to disappear somewhere far from here.
