Where I want to live
By Melody Long
May 2015
Where I want to live is some place that has a moderate climate, with some cold and a little hot but not too much of either, with views and hills and trees to inspire. With laws that are not completely stupid and where I can build or be part of a community that accepts people for who they are and not what they can do for you. Where people are kind to others.
If I had a choice I would take my dearest friends from all over the world and build a place where people who are a bit different are considered wonderful, where creativity is celebrated. Where teachers and doctors make the same amount of money, and where the people who ruled had to work along side they people they represent and that their pay was at the lower end of the overall pay scale. I would live in a place where hugs and kind words replaced slaps and hurtful things. Where people helped each other, where food was shared and love was the norm instead of the hate we currently face. I want a place where each person is just as important as everyone else, no matter who the worshiped or didn't, no matter who they loved, or didn't, no matter their "perceived" flaws.
Write about the hard stuff
by Melody Long
May 2015
Write about the hard stuff the things that make you cry.
Write about your dreams and how they make you fly.
Write about the bully now that their time is done
Write about love that has been lost and won.
Write about your heartache, and those who brought it on.
Write about what you give to the world before your times is gone.
Just write about something, share your thoughts with the world.
What do you mean?
By Melody Long
May 2015
Do I miss you? You ask with trepidation.
I miss you with every breath, with every tear.
I miss you with each and every heart beat you are not here to hear.
I miss your sweet kiss
The way you wrap your arms around me when I sway to a song.
I miss your habit of leaving the seat up.
The way you bite your lip when think too long.
I miss your smell,
Your hands on my skin,
The taste of your lips as I breathe you in.
I miss your wit,
Your presence
Your stare
The way you smile
And brush back my hair.
I miss the zombie who grabs cold coffee and dresses in the dark.
I miss the way you try and avoid the squeaky floor,
Just so I don't wake as you slip out the door.
Your little snore that only comes when sleep finally wins.
Or the way you in your sleep still seek contact with my skin.
To me you mean a day with sun, a night not alone when the evening is done.
Your worth in my world is as important as breath,
for each moment without you is so hard to bear,
So my dear, to me? You are simply to reason I live.
Just
By Melody Long
May 2015
Stress a little,
Obsess a little
Loose a little control
Be swept up in the moment
in the feeling,
the scent.
Loose yourself in me
Make us the world
Ride the waves of pleasure
Breathe me in and let me breathe you.
Fill me,
every single inch of me
with you
You need to show me
By Melody Long
May 2015
You need to show me your love is true
Make me believe that you are the one for me.
Brush my hair from my face, tilt my chin up and kiss me.
Then just hold me and tell me you've missed me.
Do little things to make my day easy.
At night, when we're alone, get lost in me.
Tease me, please me and let me steal your control.
Give to me your heart as I have given you mine.
Then will know our love is till the end of time.
Get lost in me
By Melody Long
May 2015
Take me in your arms and show me.
tease me.
please me
Then get lost in me.
Trace the stars
Melody Long
May 2015
Trace the stars on my skin
Kiss the moon into my soul
Pour the sun into my heart
Share the universe with me
Wake me slowly
Melody Long
May 2015
Wake me slowly with kisses and love,
Press your body against mine and show me your love
Pull me on top of you
Hold me very close.
Then kiss me again while I slide you in.
Take me slowly until I loose control
then let me take you until I control you.
When we are breathless and can't take anymore
Hold me; breathe me; then lets sleep some more.
Enough
Melody Long May 2015
I was used, abused, made to feel worthless.
I was tricked, tortured and raped.
I was broken, battered and torn inside and out.
I had enough.
I am more than I was; more than the pain and sorrow of my past.
I am more than the insecurities others pushed upon me.
I am the loved.
I am wonderful.
I am beautiful.
I am kind.
I am the one who never gave up.
I am stronger that those who used and abused me.
I am enough.
Alone
Melody Long May 2015
I can't shake this feeling
Even when you call
So little is said and then you are gone
I know your work keeps you
How you are always on the go
Still you seem all to happy alone
I miss you with every breath
With every beat of my heart
You don't seem to miss me at all
I ask, you say the right words
You hold me when you can
Still I feel like you would rather be
Alone.
Awake
Melody Long May 2015
I wake panicked
I feel you there once again
I swear I hear your breath
My heart pounds
I can barely breathe
Waiting, I listen,the sound is gone
slowly I reach in the drawer next to the bed
Carefully I take out the gun I keep there
I hold it close and turn on the light
Thank god you vanished into the night
Forever you have a hold on me
Even though you have been gone for years
Your return forever my soul fears
Even though I am aware
It was only a nightmare
Still I am awake
Clutching the gun
Ready to run
Thunder crashes
Melody Long May 2015
Thunder crashes
Lightning strikes
Terror fills the cold dark night
Once again storms roll in
Terror reigns when it rains
I Shiver and shake
How many lives will this one take
Thunder
Lightening
Hail
Rain
How long before tornados come
Pushed and pulled
Then tossed around
There is nothing like it's awful sound
Each clap of thunder brings the terror from that cold dark day
Morning
By Melody Long
May 2015
Morning comes way too soon.
I wish I could just sleep through till noon.
In my dreams you hold me again.
When I wake alone it's then.
That heartache and loneliness.
Set in again.
I see what you mean to me.
I want to know what I mean to you.
Do you miss me when you wake up?
Do you feel sad and all mixed up?
Do you feel lost, or alone at all?
Do you think to pickup the phone and call?
Is missing me what you do with each breath?
Or am I alone in this slow painful death.
If only you could come home to stay.
But instead you are so very far away.
Scream
Melody Long May 2015
I just want to scream
It always seems
That just when we catch up
Someone decides to tip the cup.
As soon as the battle ends
It must all begin again
From bills to kids to home repairs
Sometimes it all turns into a nightmare
Then you have to scream
It is all just too extreme
With Him
Melody Long May 2015
Being with him was a thrill
And adventure, excitement without end
Until one day he decided I was trouble for him.
In his mind he let me go even though he never left.
I felt all alone.
Even though he never left.
I lived with him but without him.
Judge
Melody Long May 2015
You sit in your home, your car, your basement.
You Judge
You see a video, picture or story.
You Judge
You see a comment and read it to the in the angry voice in your head.
Again You Judge
You have no right to judge
You never know what that person has been though
You don’t know their story
You can’t feel their pain, their sorrow, or hear the lilt of their voice.
Still
You Judge.
I hear it in your voice
Melody Long May 2015
Even though you are far away.
I still know what you think.
I know your stress .
Your happy days .
When you just don't sleep.
You don't have about it.
Just talk about the weather.
I still know what you feel.
Although you're not here.
When you day is sad.
Maybe you are feeling bad.
I know you try to hide it.
I just don't know the why.
Do you not think I know what you feel inside?
I hear it in your voice.
Hiding
Melody Long June 2015
I hide behind a smile, a laugh.
I put on a happy face,and joke or sing.
Inside, I cry, an ugly soul wrenching cry.
A cry filled with loss, a child, a friend even the love of my life,
coated in hate and self loathing
a cry that can never be cried.
The darkness that it lives in tries so hard to consume me,
it calls me to,
give in,
give up,
feel the pain
live in it
revel in it.
Today I hide it from it.
I smile, laugh, joke.
Tomorrow it might consume me.
Right now, I hide.
He loved her
Melody Long june 2015
He planted a kiss on the top of her head because,
He loved her.
He rubbed her feet after a long hard day because,
He loved her.
He let her sleep in every Sunday because,
He loved her.
He took her hand and slipped on a ring because,
He loved her.
He treated her with love and respect every moment because,
He loved her.
He stood between her and the mugger because,
He loved her.
He lost his life so she and their unborn child could live because,
He loved her.
She held his hand and told him about his dad ever single day because,
She loved him.
I grew up the day you died.
Melody Long 2015
I grew up that day
The day you died
I had to be the one to decide
They told me that
You were gone
That all they could do was
string it along
I wanted you to be the adult
I wanted you, My Dad to decide
Instead, I grew up the day you died.
Your body tangled in mine.
I wake to find myself drenched in sweat.
Your body tangled in mine.
As much as I long for sleep this is, soo much better.
For so long we have both waited for just this night.
Waiting to make love, waiting to fall asleep in each others arms.
Now I lay here and watch you sleep.
Careful not to move too much lest I wake you.
Fearful this is dream.
As long as you have been gone my heart has dreamt of this day
Each time it has broken when I wake to find you still gone.
This time I lean to kiss you and I don't wake up.
Instead, your arms wrap around me and you pull me on top of you.
Today, you finally came home.
