Maxine NightCourte Poems

The clock strikes twelve, you're scared as hell.
You walk outside and go towards the well.
You fall in and scream please someone help me.
Someone heard your wavery voice, they scampered over to find the noise.
...

I'm not in public yet, I'm not alone.
I'm not empty and I'm not loved.
I don't care but I always have.
I never care what people think of me, yet it hurts so bad.
...

Don't hide, don't cry, I'm here with you today.

I'm not gonna let you go, I will not fade away.
...

Empty and alone again, never knowing how to live.

Tired of hiding behind these scars, never knowing who they are.
...

My heart is filled with so much black; I don't know why I must act.
I hate the way I always feel, do they even know that I'm real?
Sometimes I just feel so alone. I wonder if this place is even my home.
I'm so scared of life and love; I tend to seek somewhere above.
...

Seeing your smile so beautiful and mild.

Lost in trance through your eyes forgetting all I feel inside.
...

Roses are red, violets are blue.
Love is hatred inside of you.
Hearts are like thorns that hurt deep inside.
Minds are like hearts but just like a crime.
...
