A poem for Byzantium

Unbidden 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 ok

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 ok

And 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 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

mythoughts

And i'll move on and then 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 ok

And looking out onto a different sky it seems so easy

Absence is never the answer, i know, but it serves as

my shade
