Melanie Munoz: Poems

Melanie Munoz Mar 31

My body laid bare and forgotten
My stomach still pulsed like before
I know I can't fix what was broken
My love, I will suffer no more.

-Melanie Munoz

Alone

Melanie Munoz Mar 24

Alone

That faith was all I had.

-Melanie Munoz

A Night Downtown

Melanie Munoz Mar 3

A Night Downtown

Open bars and drunkards
Cold feet and dark streets
Pink puke and white slabs
My love is far from me.

-Melanie Munoz

A Rail Yard

Melanie Munoz Apr 3

A Rail Yard

The wet grass and thick trees forgotten completely.
These old trains,
Their rust beds,
This rotten graffiti.
I heat up.
I cool down.
You'll never complete me.

-Melanie Munoz

Stale smoke and spray paint.

A Walk Down The Street

Melanie Munoz Mar 9

A Walk Down The Street

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.

Clear Skies

Melanie Munoz May 1

Clear Skies

I dream of lilies and warm sunlight
Green grass and flower beds
Warm Jazz and Cold wine
Old couples and loud streets
Rainy days and summer heat
Love and ****** hands
Open fields and spring
Oh, how I dream.

-Melanie Munoz

A poem I wrote full of hope.

Deeper

Melanie Munoz 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 Munoz Jan 5

Demented

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

-Melanie Munoz

Despondent

Melanie Munoz Mar 25

Despondent

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

Dim Lights

Melanie Munoz Apr 4

Dim Lights

In a loud bar, surrounded by creeps
They spoke and were honest
Our minds were complete

-Melanie

Writing is a release.

Downtown

Melanie Munoz Mar 4

Downtown

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.

Echo

Melanie Munoz Apr 10

Echo

My love was endless and my life was discrete.
In warm coffee joints and stable routines.
The dinner on Perk Ave, with pancakes and hot tea.
Now that's been forgotten, from history.
A lot has changed.
Now nothing means to me.

-Melanie Munoz

Eleven O'clock

Melanie Munoz Mar 9

Eleven O'clock

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

-Melanie Munoz

For Whom The Trees Sway

Melanie Munoz 3d

For Whom The Trees Sway

The light from my neighbors porch
Cast a shadow of tree branches on my wall
Yet I lay here wishing it was your silhouette instead.

I Chose To Live.

Melanie Munoz 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 Munoz Dec 2024

Ignorance Is bliss

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

-Melanie Munoz

La sombra

Melanie Munoz Apr 17

La sombra

Me acosté abajo la sombra de un árbol
Los pájaros hablan de ti
Como tus ojos pintaban objetos en verde e azul
Como tus labios cantaban de historias que no me importaban
Como el sol besaba tu piel
Siempre hablan de ti.
Siempre pienso en ti.

I decided to publish one of my Spanish poems!

Loveless

Melanie Munoz Apr 9

Loveless

I felt the rush in my stomach
My heart full and empty of oxygen
My lungs pounding
I felt it flow right out of me
Oozing like white ****
Burning like whisky on fresh cuts
I feel it flow right out of me

-Melanie Munoz

I’m sorry I can’t give you the love you deserve

Mixed feelings

Melanie Munoz 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 Munoz 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 Munoz Jan 29

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 Munoz 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.

Notice Me.

Melanie Munoz Mar 11

Notice Me.

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

-Melanie Munoz

One Night Stand

Melanie Munoz Apr 9

One Night Stand

I've grown to hate the warmth of foreign bodies
Their greedy lungs and sweaty pores
To feel love when they draw me close
To curse my broken bones

-Melanie Munoz

Pennsylvanian Summer

Melanie Munoz Feb 4

Pennsylvanian Summer

I dreamed it
The air was thick.
Smelt of fresh cut grass and beer.
I kept thinking of how bad my stomach hurt,
And how I missed my dad.
I walked barefoot through the pebbled parking lot
Passed by cars full, and empty of happy families.
The picnic tables to my right
The burning in my stomach
The blurry corn fields to my left
The trees,
The way they danced in the cool summer air
And how I missed my dad
Yet I stood.
Alone again.

-Melanie Munoz

Sometimes I miss my innocence and the father I used to know.

Rays Of You

Melanie Munoz 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.

Sublunary

Melanie Munoz Apr 17

Sublunary

You had rivers for eyes,
You were cold like the tide.
You were bright like the day yet you seep into night.
This night,
This cold, dark night.
And tonight you lay under stale heavy smoke.
You spill from my dreams where our love was revoked.

The Pain You Left Me With.

Melanie Munoz Feb 1

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

Tuesday Morning

Melanie Munoz Apr 30

Tuesday Morning

To love my skin or wear it thin?
A conscious mind, a gifted sin.
My body aches as minds awake.
This cursed routine, my spastic shakes.

-Melanie Munoz

You'reKrule

Two faced

Melanie Munoz Apr 4

Two faced

I don't care at all, yet I still care too much
Do you think you'd still love me beneath all this stuff?

Valleys Of Fire

Melanie Munoz 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.
