A Poem For Byzantium

Delerium

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
