were all of the lows
worth that one high
were all of the falls
worth that one rise
were all of the defeats
worth that one victory
will all of our stories
go down in history?

who are you?

There's a mad man on the touchline,
Yelling at us 24/7.
He's always trying to release,
That extra 10%.

Aint you always?

she's a renegade,
she plays by her own rules.
yes she's sweet,
but my heart,
to her,
is a fool.

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

Forget about the wolves,
That chased you today.
Just remember to hold on,
Tomorrow will be OK.

Doesn't it ever drive you crazy?
That you did everything and he was lazy.
Nothing ever goes greatly,
And no one's been wanting you lately.

20 Years

Max Vale Jan 2017

20 Years

I've spent 20 years preparing,
And I can finally take the test.
Once I start to making a living,
This is a test I'll never forget.
~
I've taken the test and I've failed,
My best was not enough.
However I know I wont bail,
*I Will Work Harder

My best was not enough, I will work harder

What did I do to set you off?
What do I have to do,
To get you off my mind?
It's winter, its cold outside.
Staring into your big doe eyes.
Why did it bring back,
The dizzying highs?
Feels like I've been here, all my life.
Throwing rocks at your window.
But you didn't open them,
Not tonight.
The glass shattered, but I am fine.
Right?
But if angels don't cry,
Then why do the skies weep?
And if God is merciful,
Why is his silence so deep?

When we drive home in the night,
Do you see the fireflies?
When I take your hand in mine,
Do you feel the butterflies?
What did you think when I took
the long way home,
So I didn't have to say goodbye?

would
        you

   when
i'm
gone?

and i'm out here in the pouring rain.

and tell me you feel the same.

8/11

She left me in the coffin,
Let go of my hand.
Will she remember me?
When I'm buried in the sand?

Take away this feeling,
Is this even real?
Or am I still dreaming,
Awake in this ordeal?

God, is this my fate?
To leave me in this casket to drown?
Why won't you save me?
Pull me up so I don't fall down?

But she smiled at me, before she left.
Kissed me and wished me the best.
Could of taken me with you,
But she said "let the fallen rest".

But I don't want rest,
So I open my eyes.
Am I back in her bed?
No, I'm back in mine.

a few hearts ago

sometimes it was like,
the sun was going to shine,
forever.
you by my side,
i didn't think life could be,
better.
but fall comes,
and turns into winter.
its not only the weather,
that gets a bit colder.

Afraid of Ghosts

Max Vale Nov 2019

Afraid of Ghosts

People call me crazy,
For being afraid of ghosts.
But their shadows haunt me lately,
They find their way to my soul.

After Dark

Max Vale Dec 2016

After Dark

The night is dark, cold and scary,
Only the moon gives light.
However the night is great for party,
And the sun will shine in the morning

Again

Max Vale Nov 2019

Again

You know she's gonna break your heart,
You know she's gonna love you and leave you again.
You know she's gonna take you apart,
So why did you fall for it again?
*
You know he gave you his heart,
You know you're just gonna leave him again.
You know you're going break him apart,
So why did you leave him again?

Airplanes

Max Vale Feb 2017

Airplanes

My tail leaves vapor,
My wings give you flight.
My body gives you accommodation,
As you sleep on me through the night.

**What Am I?

Airport Girl

Max Vale Jul 2019

Airport Girl

She was prettier than a summer's day,
Like a sparkling pearl.
But now she's gone and flying away,
Where are you now airport girl?

Alas,

Max Vale Oct 2017

Alas,

Alas we cannot always say,
Our final goodbyes.
We cannot wait til' the very last day,
Until then lets see what the future lies.

All You Tell Are Lies

Max Vale Jun 2019

All You Tell Are Lies

Cruising in some Off-White,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Eating some french fries,
Keeping my dull eyes,
Close to the skies,
This is our prize,
Our dizzying highs,
There is no surprise,
Don't wear a disguise,
When will we realise,
All you tell are lies?

Alone

Max Vale Mar 2018

Alone

Walking down these folded roads,
Alone, Alone, Alone.
Wishing there was somewhere to go,
Home, Home, Home.

Darkness is the only road I know,
Alone, Alone, Alone.
Graveyard of broken dreams I follow,
Home, Home, Home.

No kindness I've seen just remorse,
Alone, Alone, Alone.
Depart from this life I,
Go, Go, Go

Among The Stars

Max Vale Jun 2021

Among The Stars

you always seemed to love the sky,
the moon, the sun, the stars.
they all seem to shine a little brighter,
now that you're shining among them.

Angel of the North

Max Vale Dec 8

Angel of the North

she stood over the water,
on the cliff of no despair,
wings folded,
relaxed like she doesn't care.
but she does.
the sky is torn,
she bows her head,
the crown is worn.
legend says,
that you can fly.
only the believers,
will risk to die.
the wind whispers
into her ears.
the sun warms
all her fears.
reluctantly her hands fold,
into a prayer.
how ironic, she thinks
even angels dare
to have hope.
So, let fate come forth,
under the winter night.
alas, angel of the north
bring me your light.

#hope #light

Angels Don't Cry

Max Vale Jun 2020

Angels Don't Cry

Even when she falls,
She'll rise again to fly.
That's what she's been taught,
Because angels don't cry.

Apart

Max Vale Jun 2019

Apart

Hey don't go,
Please don't break my heart.
Hey I know,
Its better we're apart.

Arrow From Above

Max Vale Dec 2020

Arrow From Above

You know I've been,
Waiting for your love.
I've been struck by,
Eros' arrow from above.

Ashes

Max Vale Mar 2017

Ashes

You tried to burn me to ashes,
You threw me onto the fire.
You tried to erase my memories,
But sorry, I survived.

Back Of Beyond

Max Vale Jan 2017

Back Of Beyond

You left me the way I was,
In the middle of nowhere.
The back of beyond,
And of course you didn't care.
It took me ages to come out alive,
I've brushed with death,
And survived.
So no matter how hard you push me,
Down the hole,
Or off a cliff.
*You'll never hurt or destroy my soul

**** those haters and the people who let you down, You must never give up. If you do they win and you lose. And who wants to lose?

Blame It On Me

Max Vale Jul 2019

Blame It On Me

When you're dying all alone,
And somebody's taken your glee.
I'll be on the phone,
For you to blame it on me.

Blink

Max Vale Jan 2018

Blink

Every life matters,
Every life is worth living.
Give life your all,
And maybe you'll achieve something.

Treasure the little things,
As much as the big things.
Love yourself,
And see what life brings.

Live your life with no regret,
Don't stop to think.
Don't be afraid of any threat,
Because life will go by like a blink.

Blonde Hair

Blonde Hair

She's got that blonde hair,
Deep blue eyes.
It's like looking at,
Paradise.

If you ever see this, I like you

Brace for Fall

Max Vale Aug 2018

Brace for Fall

Slow setting sun,
The night's beginning to crawl.
I guess summer's done,
Brace for fall.

Break The Rules

Max Vale Nov 2017

Break The Rules

Rules are out there for a reason,
Laws are there for a reason.
Obey the law,
But,
BREAK THE RULES!

Brilliant

Max Vale Nov 2020

Brilliant

Don't worry my dear,
The light will return.
To quell all our fears,
With its brilliant burn.

Scared of being forgotten

Bring Me Winter

Max Vale Sep 4

Bring Me Winter

As the days get shorter,
The autumn takes our leaves away.
As the night grows longer,
The winter comes to stay.
The skies they go grey,
Streaked by purple, red and orange.
The sun bows and says its goodbye,
“Glory, Glory, Glory”,
Echoes into the darkness.
But with the cold comes purpose,
Let the fields sleep for a while.
Look up my love,
It’s snowing!

Broken Glass

Max Vale Feb 2017

Broken Glass

I'm a piece of glass,
You may call me a window.
I reflect the sun and propel the wind,
I let you see through me.
But why does everyone want to break me?

I swear its soo satisfying to see glass break...

Broken Hopes

Max Vale Feb 2018

Broken Hopes

Everyone had dreams once,
Everyone had loved once.
We all sat upon the fence once,
We all come off the bench once.

We all belonged once,
We all cried once,
We all laughed once,
We all lived once.

We were all alone once,
We should have kept dreaming.
When you awake you have to choose your path,
Broken hopes, reality is harsh.

Bumble Bee

Max Vale Jan 2017

Bumble Bee

Bumble bee, Bumble bee,
Come and visit me.
Bring be Queen bee and King bee,
And we can all have tea.

Bye Bye Bumble bee,
I hope I see you soon.
Have fun at your nest by the willow tree,
And come back tomorrow afternoon.

50th poem , Cheers people ;)

Burning

Max Vale Jan 2017

Burning

Throw sticks and logs into the fire,
To keep it alive.
Let its light guide you and shine,
And may its light be a gift to us all.

Burn Up The Sky

Max Vale Dec 2017

Burn Up The Sky

Storm in a bottle,
Hurricane at large.
Winds at full throttle,
Blizzard hits harsh.

Feel the music in your heart,
Feel the beat of the drums.
Let your outer shell tear apart,
And your inner spirit hum.

Unleash your beast,
Fireworks at ready.
Soul unleashed,
Soldier's steady.

Together we will thrive,
We will not die but survive.
So roar your battle cry,
And let's burn up the sky.

Let your anger spark passion and your passion spark victory :)

Call Me

Max Vale Feb 2019

Call Me

You say I'm depressed,
I've changed, I'm lonely.
If that's the problem,
Then why don't you call me?

Can I do this?

Max Vale Dec 2016

Can I do this?

A singer once said to me,
You can't do this!
A footballer once said to me,
Dude, you shouldn't do this.
A businessman once said to me,
Seriously sir, You can't do this.
An old man once said to me,
**Yes! Go on! You can do this!

When i asked people if i could be famous, Everyone laughed at me,
Except the old man its because of him,
I write these poems.

Can't or Won't?

Max Vale Jan 2017

Can't or Won't?

There are things I can do,
However sadly I refuse.
To push myself harder,
And make me better.

You either can't or won't

Cherry Lips

Max Vale Dec 2022

Cherry Lips

and so i take another shot,
and pretend its all bliss.
pour another round,
until I see your cherry lips.
taste your wine,
and take another trip.
chase the whiskey,
and move those hips.
run all out of liquor,
but she begins to strip.
empty my gin its alright,
i begin to lose my grip
one more bottle,
but she begins to slip,
three more shots,
and my mind is eclipsed.

bottom's up

Chicago

Max Vale Dec 14

Chicago

She said she's scared of love,
I know how this goes.
She wants my heart,
But not my soul.
She loves the lights,
Kiss the afterglow.

She said she's scared of heights,
Call it vertigo.
She builds a wall,
I see cracks below.
She hides her pain,
But her scars they show.

She said she can't commit,
So let's take it slow.
She craves the warmth,
But loves the snow.
She said she is scared of us,
Yet stays where Chicago blows.

Closed Minds

Closed Minds

Closed minds are like,
A broken down car.
With an attitude like that,
You ain't gonna go far.

Close Your Eyes

Max Vale Jun 2020

Close Your Eyes

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.
