Shipwrecked

he put it in the bottle and he threw it out to sea
 but the tide would not surrender and it floated to the beach
 so the message of apology his love would never see
 he walked around that island all shipwrecked, and heavy
 the scars of early childhood stood showing on the skin
 necessary enemy so healing could begin
 from the message of apology his heart might soon break free
 for now he walks that island all shipwrecked, and ready
 low beyond horizon lines across the salty sea
 a boat without a captain makes its way to some city
 he prays that it would sail its course to lover or to kin
 and fan a thirst for searching and finding him again
 finding him again
 finding him again
