About this ebook
Melody Starr
I have been living in Chicago, Illinois, all my life. I have been writing poetry and short fiction stories since elementary school. I am hoping to write a novel in the future. I was eighteen when I started writing my poetry in journals. I took a journalism class in my senior year of high school. It was a good experience though not my genre of writing. I have published some poems with the International Library of Poetry twelve times. A few years ago, I have taken a through-the-mail course with Long Ridge Writers. I hope Secret Keys opens doors for all of us.

The Perfect Place For You
As I hold your hand
Your final day alive
I tried to control my tears
And forced to see the other side.
Where the sky reached the limit
And you close your eyes in peace
Where protection comes so easy
With no need to worry.
I felt relieved at the fact
That your suffering was through
I smiled because I knew
Heaven would be the perfect for you.
Nothing can touch you
I can get a good sleep
And I know you didn’t regret
The day you were set free.
When God whispered your name
Everyone else never knew
But, we shared a special secret
Heaven was the perfect place for you.
Some people who lost a loved one
This is for all of you
Who don’t know already
There’s a perfect place for you too!
You will make it shine
And someday take me with you
I’ll always be looking up
At the perfect place for you.
You Already Left
As your walking towards the door
I ask why you walk so slow
because as far as i’m concerned
you left me long ago.
We already crossed that bridge
I’ve been walking the path alone
ever since you started to ignoreme
i’m used to it by now.
My hearts already broken
You don’t even know how
either way i’m alone
so why are you just leaving now?
I’ve already felt alone
I’ve already felt the pain
so, if you were to leave me now
I would feel the same.
Why would you stick around?
It’s just like having you here
You won’t give me affection
or give me attention.
And without those things
i’m still in need
You just walk away
But, i’ll never be free.
It’s Just Pride
Your standing in front of me
with shock in your eyes
due to the fact that
I’m not giving you another try.
I keep a straight face
I really have to try
because if I fumble
you’ll know it’s just my pride.
Inside I feel so weak
like I’m telling you a lie
when my heart is sinking
my pride tells you goodbye.
It should feel right
like I’m doing the right thing
my pride makes me tell things
that my heart doesn’t mean.
That’s why I’m not happy
even if for my own
