RED JAM
saint8 Apr 2022
Under a rock
In the messiest river
You have given me
A power jam

It is red
And shiney
And it burns
With passion

If you hold it closely
You'd see the cracks
And feel the endless vibration
I always think it might break

But the red rock keeps it's structure
For every time I tried it
It has yet to fail me
It has shown me new lenghts

I am terrified it might fall into little pieces
One day
But as you promised
It always held together

Momma Told Me
saint8 Jan 2019
I get it
but I don't understand still..
why some people
gotta wear their feels

Taking their trauma
and post it live,
talk about their problems
and how it's the reason why

Why as in "why not"
like, how you couldn't manage
to take that shot
Besides, one man sad show is not so hot.

Momma told me
"don't cry too hard, child"
"anything can be done"
"if we cry on anything how
do we ever have fun?"

And that is the truest thing
i took with me to life
I rather be alone
then looked at with sad eyes

So no, thank you
If sympathy is the way to go
I rather be that strong fellow
like Momma told me so

Be Your Own House
saint8 Nov 2018
Be your own house
Steady walls of confidence
Windows that can see clearly all
Be your own house

Be the roof
Of reassurance
And be the shelter at cold
Be what you believe is a strong hold

And find a person
You can set a second floor with
Someone who'll make you better
Merge incredible architecture

Be your own house
Steady walls of confidence
And love
Be the house you'll definetly knock
On it's wooden or plastic door.
live long and prosper

Home With You
saint8 Nov 2018
Thinking that someones
Coming
All the time
Through the front door

That stress is above me
Suddenly i got no other chore
Just to keep my chest
From sour

You asked if you over shadow
And i find it funny
In that cloud of smoke
How you talk about the things i talked

To your question, Love?..
I don't know how to say
You're kinda like a fire
You can see a mile away

The shine is bright
So no shadow is involved
Its just there's no other shine
That's contrust to yours

The Promise
saint8 Aug 2018
For the mountains i'll move
For the the train to stop
With my bare hands
All for what you are to me

The colors are back
After an ancient time
The thrill I forgot
Existed

I'd like to imagine it
Like the brave tale
About a man and his promise
To himself

Of a warrior
With a dusty cape
Swor upon a day
He will protect

Anything
That makes him
Alive

The Crave
saint8 Aug 2018
All I want
Is a white night
Filled
With you.

No people around
To judge or think
What could this mean
Us two.

I could imagine all that
But I stop only for one.
For the image of you hovering
Above me, looking down.

It makes me shiver
How I want this so.
The lonley I get
The harder I go.

But i wont do a thing,
You know...
I need you too much
In this life that is oh
So-so.

Same Mistake
saint8 Jul 2018
I always do
The same mistake.
I always do the mistake
Of getting close to you

This never benefits
But only calm storms
Momenterally
Only to find out
I've created another

I always do the same mistake
Of getting close to you
This fire is comforting
But the burn will cost me
My life

I would leave
This dreadfull place
If it wasn't so cold
Up in this hill

But worst of all
Worst of anything
Im losing
Myself

To get
Absolutely
Intirely
Nothing.

Haven't Traveled
saint8 Jul 2018
Kissing someone new
Feels odd
Like getting used to
Living in a foreign country

I do not know the traditions
Or speak the language
And its hard
When you homesick

I guess there are countries
I'd like to travel
Strange lands of unknown jungles
All of them are mine

I still feel like
I have a lot to learn
How to wish for things
I can handle my own

Still im here
Haven't traveled anywhere yet
Keeping at bay with fear and decay
I just know one thing
I mostly rhime when I pray.

Thats's why...
saint8 Jul 2018
I dont think you know
How alone
I feel...

I'd be staying home lately
For a while now..
And nobody wonders
Why

And why running away from
The circle im in?
You cant handle my silence
For my words can be spreaded wonderfully.
Giving you the joy i see you long for.

But go.
Run away
For i do not wish for someone who runs from me
And my silence.

My silence is me
And like the horn on memorial day
I stand silently for the fall

I am
Mourning
On me.

Thats why its so quiet here..

Gun said love
saint8 Jul 2018
Who's the most
Lucky one
Is it the love?
Or the gun?

Love said
"I stay till I'm gone
I'll be remembered
By the days are done"

Gun said
"I care for none
It's just me and you
No one's around"

Gun was right
Love is cocky
I couldn't care less
If she doesn't want me

But hearts on my bullets.
it's what I shove
Funny thing is..
I shoot my gun in the name of love

— The End —
