Rhyming and Lyrics – A Preemptive Strike

A Preemptive Strike by Melodie Yvonne Ramey

Audio only:

I’m the one that’s walkin’ away
I don’t wanna think of you every day
I don’t wanna picture those words you’ll say
If the universe suddenly goes my way

This time I’m gonna walk away
If you don’t wanna stop me, get outta my way
So please just stop starin’, I got nothin’ to say
I’m not gonna live with your thoughts every day

I won’t be diverted by lust in your touch
I’ll stop all that wanting you ever so much
I’m not gonna be a new fall back crutch
I can’t be this stupid, enough is enough

This time I’m gonna walk away
If you don’t wanna stop me, get outta my way
So please just stop starin’, I got nothin’ to say
I’m not gonna live with your thoughts every day

These thoughts are unnerving and I want them gone
I been thinkin’ ‘bout your blue eyes far too long
I’ll cut all these ties by the end of this song
And take back my heart before you do it wrong

This time I’m gonna walk away
If you don’t wanna stop me, get outta my way
So please just stop starin’, I got nothin’ to say
I’m not gonna live with your thoughts every day

I don’t wanna know if you link to my soul
All I want is for you to just go
I don’t want the heartache that you’ll never know
I just want my mind to be in control

This time I’m gonna walk away
I want you to stop me, beg me to stay
Your eyes tell me you got somethin’ to say
But I’ll not keep on thinkin’ bout you every day

This time I’m the one that’s walkin’ away
I’m not gonna think of you every day
I’m not gonna picture those words you’d say
‘Cause my universe just plain doesn’t go that way

Melodie Yvonne

Melodie Yvonne, lead photographer and owner of Photographic Melodie, grew up in the small southern Indiana town of North Vernon. She picked up her first camera at the age of 5, and was immediately hooked. By the age of 15 she began to turn every trip, even just to the local park, into a fantasy scene of her own imagination, and started mentoring with many local professionals. Melodie received an Associates of Applied Science in Visual Technologies majoring in Photography from Ivy Tech in 2002 after studying under acclaimed professors and many other masters in the field.

Melodie’s main focus has always been music photography. Growing up listening to many amazing musicians inspired her dream to create visual images that made people feel the way they do when listening to music. Her goal was to help people SEE the music.

Melodie has done numerous jobs around the country ranging from working for bands to being the official photographer on many southern Indiana Poker Runs. Her specialties are in nature, music, and candid event photography. She published her first print work, a collection of images & poetry, in 2011, and has since published many more print works. Melodie currently acts as owner & lead photographer at Photographic Melodie, House Photographer for Purdue Theatre, and Tour Photographer for multiple Billboard Charts topping bands as well as freelance work with many other media outlets, venues, and musicians.

  1. here's 2 not getting burned

    Many must understand this pain. It’s a great depiction of one of those agonizing crushes. The battle between the mind, offering sanity – and the heart’s silly dreams with the body’s desire.

    This one really lives – so moving
