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 Absence 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 Absence is never the answer, I know But it serves as my shade --- A Poem for Byzantium - Delerium and Joanna Stevens
