I’ll wash myself in the sea of my sorrow

And try to come away clean

Rinse out the stains that you left on my heart

Tear out my old hopes and dreams

Drown all my anger and look towards tomorrow

Misery ends where the ocean begins

The waves beat the shore pulling me into the sand

But Time heals all watch me- one day I’ll stand

Bathe my raw wounds in salty water

Lay by the seaside and wait for the tide

The water is rising; coming up higher

I’ll drown even deeper in my body of tears

But the ocean recedes, leaving me empty

The waterline runs away with my fears

I may not move on, but I’ll find serenity

Now that my heart has been bathed and is dried

My sadness has served me- and I’m glad to have cried
