Niamh

never mean for anything
 to bend around its shape
 keeping what is there for you
 isn't easy at all
 you can't give yourself that look
 that turns life into nine hours of daring to let go
 and not be Scandinavian anymore
 so now you raise the question
 a thousand miles from home
 bringing to attention
 just what you're striving for
 (wherein your heart thus go)
 but what good is an answer
 when the ice is slowly cracking
 are you strong enough to lift up
 the remains of today
 (first step taken)
 if you leave these shallow waters
 you're almost on your own
 no more safe delusions
 accept for what you've now become
 (someone's pain and love)
 it leaves you here
 where life begins again
 without the one who chose
 you for what you are
 nothing left
 or is it now at last
 that life begins
 never tears
 nor lament
 from the haven
 of discontent
 to your life
 I levitate
 you just imagine
 I never left
 and now you wait
 for one short line
 that you think you need
 but won't come near
 if all is for real
 then you will know now
 the dedication it takes
