Melanie Munozz: Poems

Deeper

Melanie Munozz Jan 19

Deeper

I woke to the rain pattering on my window.
The dark clouds displeased me.
He lingered in my head as I laid on my pillow.
My arms burned blue
The pit grew deeper.

-Melanie Munoz

Demented

Melanie Munozz Jan 5

Demented

Displaced and detached
These feelings,
unmatched.
There's nothing to say,
But I like it that way.

-Melanie Munoz

I Chose To Live.

Melanie Munozz Jan 16

I Chose To Live.

There's a lot about me I don't understand.
The world came crashing down, again
And I ignored it, again

I chose to listen to the rustling leaves,
The busy streets,
The Laughter and the joy
The whimpers and the pain,
Life.
I chose to live.

-Melanie Munoz

Sometimes ignoring your depression, anxiety, and lack of sleep means obsessing over things that often go unnoticed.

Ignorance Is bliss

Melanie Munozz Dec 2024

Ignorance Is bliss

I don't understand my feelings,
so,
I ignore them

-Melanie Munoz

Mixed feelings

Melanie Munozz Jan 16

Mixed feelings

You were coffee cups and dark rooms,
Grey hues and poetry.

You were warm to the touch,
Burned like oak and green ivy

You were sweet like warm jazz,
Taste like soap and old candy

All the love you had left
Came from deep down inside me.

-Melanie Munoz

A better version of a poem I had written before

My song

Melanie Munozz Dec 2024

My song

Off beat
Off key
I've never been comfortable
Never comforted

Common
Boring
I've never been interesting
Never impressed

-Melanie Munoz

We ask for a little and receive nothing.

My Thoughts Are All I Have.

Melanie Munozz 4d

My Thoughts Are All I Have.

The noise has died away; the birds stopped their chirping
My thoughts are all I have
The crypt of darkness swallows whole
My thoughts are all I have
My bones ache my eyes have close
My thoughts are all I have
I take his hand within my hand
My thoughts are all I have
There is a burning in my heart
These thoughts are all I have

Melanie Munoz

I guess I really am unlovable. I've always been unlucky.

Never Been Beautiful

Melanie Munozz Dec 2024

Never Been Beautiful

My beauty is not beauty enough for I am not as pretty as my other friends.

My beauty is not beauty enough because men do not tend to notice me.

My beauty is not beauty enough for I have never been one to understand compliments.

My beauty is not beauty enough.

I have never been beautiful.

-Melanie Munoz

Felt insecure and wanted it to stop.

Rays Of You

Melanie Munozz Jan 2

Rays Of You

Sun you bring death
Yet I swim and I sweat
In the rays of you;
Bright yellow sun.

-Melanie Munoz

It didn't matter who he was, I was there for him.

The Pain You Left Me With.

Melanie Munozz 21h

The Pain You Left Me With.

I twiddled my thumbs and held my breath
As I waited for your sweet voice to call my name.
I ached for your warmth just being there, laying there, sitting there.
I listened to music you loved hoping the melodies
would connect our souls.
I smoked to see if the fumes would sway for me
The way they swayed for you.
Your silence was deafening
It burned holes in my conscience
I filled it with messages and songs you left me with.
The pain you left me with.

-Melanie Munoz

Valleys Of Fire

Melanie Munozz Dec 2024

Valleys Of Fire

I walk the streets
See the slopes
And the valleys of fire
To be here with you is my greatest and darkest desire

-Melanie Munoz

I convinced myself that you would fix all my problems. You gave me more.

— The End —
