My life for your life
I'd rather die for you
Than live without you
Newt Figgins Mar 2014
Watching the traffic light turn from green to yellow to red...all from bed.

Thoughts of Jay Gatsby fill my head
Alone in bed, I wonder how he must have felt
Seeing that green light
Reminded of Daisy, his love.
Newt Figgins Mar 2014
I'm sorry for what I've done
So tired I can no longer run
Broken down on the wrong side of hope

Forever
Just a lot of todays
And even more tomorrows

Forever without hope
Is like winter without a coat

Fight for light

With you Forever is a friend
May we experience a lot of todays
And even more tomorrows
Fighting for the One who
Fights for us
Who intercedes on our behalf
Who brings us back to Hope

Fight for that light my Love
For it only comes from above

I don't deserve you
And especially not Him
All I can give is my love
My todays and my tomorrows


I will always love you
Forever
For Andi

I know but I don't believe
The future that you have for me
Struggle and despair consumes my air
The bridge is in need of repair

Society
What a mess
Lost and stressed never finding rest
Breeding Greed and Success
But I digress

(meanwhile)
.... Purpose and Meaning lag behind
Waiting for their time
Newt Figgins Feb 2014
From the darkness of room 223 ...
Thoughts stumble through the fog
Of a mind that was once so clear.
Hope shines only to blind.
No longer sublime because of time.
Reality is the *****
Thats led me to this ditch.
You can't fall if you're already down.
Be still now you're safe and sound.

"It's been a good ride" I chuckled a cried

Time well spent
I can't deny

Blessed beyond all measure
The memories I will always treasure

Rich with time past
Sad to see it won't last

The battle has been fought
Not all for naught

Know when to hold and when to fold  
Or so I'm told

I laugh
"It's been a good ride"
