Running hearts
Wandering souls

Reality left alone and ignored

Passion is blinding
But love binding

Grace calls from the path
And warns of wrath

Troubled hearts run if you must
But  you shall surely return to dust
Romans 6:1
Newt Figgins Feb 2014
Open your eyes
You are more than the lies
Can you not see

Self-Hate wispers in your ear
Insecurity grabs your hand
Satan lies  
Can you not see

Flowing brown hair
Ripe lips and a toothy smile
Hazel eyes that grab my heart
Can you not see

Love pumps through your heart
Selflessness through your veins
Oh how can you believe the lies
How can you despise

Can you not see
You are free

Can you not see
You mean the world to me
Newt Figgins Feb 2014
My soul is tired of swimming
Drowning in the darkness of my heart
Fighting the current of every beat
Overwhelmed by sin and disgrace
Let me see Your Holy Face
I'm homesick for a better place
Newt Figgins Jan 2014
Jekyll and Hyde
Bonnie and Clyde
On the second one I lied
Bonnie and Clyde were just Hyde  
Two wolves live inside
Do you feed Jekyll or Hyde
Newt Figgins Dec 2013
She isn't here but I can hear her
Laughing as I tell her "you have big teefies"
Playfully she leans in and gives me a toothy kiss
I fight to not remember
Trying to hold back the memories like a broken dam
Inundated day by day
How could I ever forget
My future wife
Time is a thief
A stealer of many things
But it can never steal my love for you
Or make me forget
...Like water through a broken dam
