The Cleansing

Inside my pride Lies a lie denied Now revealed In every tear i cried That crippled my ragged soul inside How could i be so naive To believe You would never decieve And crush my heart Like crisp winters leaves Buried alive with all my dreams That once were bursting at the seams Nothing left To be redeemed Or so it seems Played a fool, i hide in shame only my own ignorance to blame Life will never be the same As this pain remains From your vicious game Ill let the sea carry me away And drown my heart in salty spray Until im cleansed , here ill stay And memories of you are washed away

Carl, this is deep.... how we sabotage ourselves by holding on. It's good to drown, and get awa5. Anything to wash and cleanse our heart from all the rotten evil stuff it had to deal with. The sea, sounds like tranquility. However, it has its deep ends....luv....Linda

First time I am stopping by, and really glad I did. This is a brilliant and poignant write Carl. I always feel that water.. sea or otherwise has a deeper 'cleansing' of our souls than just the literal sense. Xx~Xx
