Costing great heartache
Some were my fault others were at their sake
Misguided love….
I have placed them on the wings of a dove
Flying to the great open
Carried to the ocean

All behind….they will never find me
Locked tight, I have thrown away the key
Buried deep with the lost never to rise again
Never again shall they reign

Ready to start a new
Free from the past the chains that have held me
The memories of the bad disappear, a new day to dawn
Ready to trust again...the haunting memories long gone
Buried deep on the ocean floor
Shipwrecked fools shall be no more
