A Poem For Byzantium


Unforbidden shadows of you formed yesterday
i ran away to a room here on the bay
interrupted life again, another new beginning
where the silence echoes
you're no longer with me
Here and now
i feel that i'm embracing freedom
even though i may be alone
but that's okay
Through the darkness
i would walk in the streets
confessions never seemed
to provide me with a release
held me down and tried to cure me
tried to give me reason
but nothing could sepearate
this burdened mind from me
Here and now
i feel that i'm embracing freedom
even though i may be alone, but that's okay
looking out to a different sky will disengage me
absense is never the answer, i know
but it serves as my shade
I do not seek and not intend to find
a calmer ocean or a sun that'll never rise
my world will never change
and time will bring you to my thoughts
i'll move on and forget you all over again
moving on, i can forgive you all over again
Here and now
i feel that i'm embracing freedom
even though i may be alone, but that's okay
and looking out onto a different sky
it seems so easy
absense is never the answer, i know
but it serves as my shade
