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 separate 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

And lookin' 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 do not intend to find

A calmer ocean or a sun that will never rise

My world will never change and time will bring you to my thoughts and

I'll move on and then forget you all over again

Movin' 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 lookin' out to a different sky it seem so easy

Absence is never the answer, I know but it serves as my shade
