Into The Light
Max Vale Oct 2020
Don't worry,
That you lost me.
I'm gonna be alright.

Just hold me.
So tightly,
This one last time.

I'm going,
I'm leaving,
Into the light.

Symphony
Max Vale Sep 2017
I tune the sync,
Live to the blue.
Heart warming tears,
Melancholy tune.
Passion ignites,
Oblivion fades.
My music brings light,
To all that are near.

Please Don't Leave Me

All you see is darkness,
Your heart is lost at sea.
Can you hear me begging,
"Please don't leave me"?

My Name Is Untitled
Max Vale Sep 2017

The lone wolf who roams the streets.
I am the unpredictable,
Yet people find me discreet.

On this cold and dark night.

And tell me its gonna be alright.

A maleficent beast.

Longing for blue skies
All around stars are falling
Undying they rise

Rest easy my child
Enemies cannot hurt you
Now you're safe and sound

A broken down car.

Sunflowers
Max Vale Dec 2020
Sunflowers reach,
Up into the sky.
The sun is sparkling,
And so are your eyes.

Daisies are pretty,
Bluebells have style.
Lanterns are illuminating,
Just like your smile.

The ocean is vast,
You lift up my heart.
And just like my soul,
I hope we're never apart.

Violin
Max Vale Oct 2020
On the outside,
I've never fitted in.
It's like I'm alright,
But there's a violin,
Playing in the background.
Why doesn't my voice,
Make a sound?
Why is everyone,
Never around?

Ecstasy
Max Vale Oct 2020
Cuz I'll rather have you instead,
Than feeling so so depressed
Why can't you be my ecstasy,
Take all the pain away from me.
Maybe in another lifetime,
You'll be the one I call mine.
Because you are all I ever need,
Now it hurt so bad that you have to leave.
Double post haha sorry just feel sadly inspired

Get Up & Go Again
Max Vale Apr 2019
There was once a girl,
               Who taught me many things,
To love the earth,
                    And count my blessings.

Once I was broken,
                    Beyond repair.
   I laid on the floor,
                           Full of despair.

       She walked by me,
                 I thought she'd pick me up.
     But she said to me,
                          Get the hell up.

She didn't give me a hand,
              She didn't help me at all.
She just made sure I got back up,
                           That was all.

             So I sat there,
Sobbing and crying.
Like a little baby,
                                  Moaning and whining.

            She said to me,
Why do you cry little one?
                                 There are bigger battles,
To be fought and one.

               Hearing her words,
Made me get back on my feet.
               I said no more,
I disliked defeat.

               She smiled at me at last,
Knowing she'd taught me right.
     To never give up,
                           Without a fight.

      Reaching out her hand,
           Get up she said.
                        I took her hand,
                                              Got up and went again.
The most valuable lesson, I've ever learnt :)

Its OK.
To let go.
Sometimes,
You're better off,
On your own.

Max Vale Jan 2020
Don't you call me when you're alone,
Don't you dare pick up the phone.
Just to leave me on read,
And wake up in somebody else's bed.

Sapphires Are Blue
Max Vale Oct 2020
Roses are red,
Violets are blue.
I can't sleep at night,
Because I'm thinking of you.

I know this is bad,
You lost my letter.
But now its gone,
It'll never get better.

So rubies are red,
Sapphires are blue.
Making next time,
I'll end up with you.

Max Vale May 26
we relate to things,
not because we're sad
but because we want to be understood,
in a way that makes us
feel better
after all,
the air tastes better
when you feel something
rather than nothing.

No Good To Me

Maybe I'll be better off with you,
Maybe then I'll be free.
But living life without you,
Is no good to me.

Close Your Eyes
Max Vale Jun 2020
All these angels and demons,
Keep trying to chase me.
To get inside my head,
And into my dreams.
They're all I see.

But demons are weak,
And angels will cry.
And the monsters?
They can also die.

You can run,
But you cannot hide.
So don't be afraid,
To close your eyes.

To quell all our fears,
With its brilliant burn.

Mother
Max Vale Sep 2017
Hey Mom,
Don't cry.
I'm coming home.
Thanks for all the good times,
The little moments.
The big ones.
The little dreams,
That became big ones.
I'm not a little boy anymore,
But i ain't ever growing up.
I'm proud to be your little boy
And your little boy is coming home

Lady Liberty
Max Vale Sep 2019
Yeah we call it history,
Our ancestor's misery,
True or false a mystery,
Throw in a bit of trickery,
That tasted bitterly,
When we are kept in captivity,
Bringing out the artillery,
Might just be simplicity,
Or maybe just stupidity,
Learn a bit of humility,
Sit on a rock tranquillity,
Inspiring **** creativity,
Everything is a possibility,
Whether we react with negativity,
Or take it literally,
Follow religion divinity,
Maybe we just need some responsibility,
Work together synergy,
To get to a place called victory,
Doing it all for Lady Liberty.
Tweaked :) wrong version published, my bad.

Little Do You Know
Max Vale Sep 2017
Little do you know,
In the middle of the night.
When demons come from below,
And the moon begins to shine.
The stars glow,
Husky wind blows,
Dreams begin unfold, untangle and play,
The Orchestra plays till the light of the next day.
The sun rises,
Night Critters hide,
Dreams are blown,
Where they'll go nobody knows,
And all this happens in the middle of the night,
The little critters that have danced and entertained,
Now the morning is light,
The critters crawl away.

Dear Delta Dawn
Max Vale Mar 26
were you the best thing,
to ever happen to me?
was i holding my breath,
on something, i couldn't believe?
so tell me where your hearts at,
show me why you left that.

i'm looking at you,
while thinking of me.
will i ever forget,
how you put me at ease?
so tell me why i lost you,
take me where i had you.

you were my match,
and you lit every flame.
how did it all burn out,
was it you that changed?
so tell me how to fix this,
you still owe me that kiss.

but why is this hard,
should love really bite?
if we were meant to be,
shouldn't this feel right?
so tell me why we faded,
why do i feel so jaded.

maybe you were the,
best thing to happen to me.
but you swung around,
180 degrees.
maybe you were always moving on,
forever chasing that delta dawn.
dear delta, i hope you find that mansion in the sky

Icarus
Max Vale Dec 2024
They say
I've been waiting for this moment,
All my life, that's what I wanted.
You say I'm still here lying, hoping,
You'd still love me in the morning.
Been wishing on every star,
It's in my head, it's automatic.
Hearts lifting up, into space,
But it can't hear through static.
You're soaring further away,
Deep into the Milky Way.
I'm letting myself runaway,
Even if you couldn't stay.
So I stare right into the sun,
While you are here, no regrets.
Can't see where you're going,
But you, I cannot forget.
Although, you're gone and flying,
I fell from the sky, mortifying.
Don't need no reminding,
But it's fine, I'm still trying.

Falling For You

Even when death comes calling
Even when the world stops turning
I will never stop falling

Zombie
Max Vale Dec 2024
Check my heart,
Check my pulse,
Is it still beating?

I'm too deep,
And I don't know,
Am I still breathing?

Check my head,
Am I dead?
Or am I still living?

Do they know?
Where I've gone?
How long am I missing?

Check my soul,
See my bones,
Am I a zombie?

Take me home,
Where do I go?
Do they still love me?

Why Did She Leave?

Just a Kid
Max Vale May 2020
I'm just a kid,
I don't know life.
All I know is that,
I've got to get it right.

Perhaps its the road,
Maybe a sharp bend.
But there's a reward,
Waiting at the end.

Sometimes the path leads you astray,
But that's OK.
You'll live to another day.
Let the demons go away.

I'll learn as I go,
The journey is enough.
Hopefully I'll have a chance,
To find true love.

I Love You So Bad
Max Vale Mar 2020
Moved out of town,
Went looking for you.
Where are you now?
You were gone too soon.
The past was then,
I made a mistake.
I wanna hold you again,
I wanna see your face.
I searched day and night,
You've been gone for so long.
Gotta keep it tight,
I gotta stay strong.
Nothing but you,
Can heal my heart.
You not being here,
Tears it apart.
The memories we had,
They'll never be gone.
I'll never forget,
Your favorite song.
It plays in my heart,
It echoes in my head.
I'll never give up,
Until I'm dead.
When I find you,
I'll hold you close.
I'll whisper in your ear,
"I'll never let you go".
Cuz -

I love you so bad

i could try to make it right,
but i get chased by your green eyes,
in the night.
lost you in the dark,
but that's fine?
quite.

go ahead and take your time,
when will you realise,
you could of been mine?
haunt my dreams,
all you like,
fine.

but i know you will miss,
my arm around yours,
or that kiss.
laugh it off,
come back to
this?
"they liked me too early, i liked them too late"

Hot Blooded
Max Vale Apr 12
well she's hot blooded,
ask her and you'll see.
she makes a fire,
burn deep inside me.
but she's hot blooded,
can't you tell?
she's got that moxie,
she does it so well.
oh she's hot blooded,
she the one for me?
she's burning up,
in this Miami heat.
yeah she's hot blooded,
check her you'll see.
she's got a fever,
of one hundred and three.

Prayer for the Damned
Max Vale Dec 2024
Mirror, mirror on the wall,
show me the face of the devil.
but when i look in the reflection,
its not devil, but me
and i'm smiling.
what have i done?
i can pray for -
the ******, the fallen,
the lost, the begotten.
what else is one supposed to do?
when every time they pray to God,
he remains silent,
but only the devil answers?
Max Vale Jan 2020
This place called paradise,
Is where I want to be.
The limit is the sky,
For you and me.

Nothing can touch us,
The world is at our feet.
Can't you finally see?
It was meant to be?

Sea-Green
Max Vale Sep 2024
There was a girl I know,
With her sea-green eyes.
Who once said to me
"Beware the wolf, for the wolf lies"

"Don't fear the sheep that bleats,
But fear the one that hides
For it may be the wolf hunting,
With its disguise"

"But don't fret for the whispers,
You hear in the light.
For they can't hurt you,
When it is bright"

"The wolf is smart and cunning,
But do not reply.
When he asks you to follow him,
Into paradise"

"But the wolf will fear love,
The wolf will fear right.
For even the darkness,
Won't hide its demise"

"So don't be afraid,
Of the wolves that will just pass by
For you'll find your shelter,
In a love that doesn't lie"

But love, like wolves, can change its form,
And hearts can shift like skies.
Still, I’ll trust her gentle gaze,
Those deep sea-green eyes.

Without You
Max Vale Apr 30

Wonder if I'll be ok,
If it is what it is.
Tomorrow, you'll be a stranger.
Hoping for love to happen,
Over and over again.
Unsaid
Things.
You were real to me
Once.
Until the next lifetime, I'll try to be fine –

without you.
