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
