Leave me be.

It's dark, and in the dim

Moonlight I can clearly see.

And you're disturbing me.

Distracting me, and possibly

In the long run hurting me.

My sunless solace,

The soft-spoken woman who

reminds me I'm not soulless,

comes to me, in the night.

The subtle thoughts that creep-vine

in my mind until they're seen,

illusions, in a silver mirror

of what I ought to be.

Images of Self, reflected

What I think of me

Wander aimlessly,

down each and every cul-de-sac,

and back out to the street.

Beneath the white glow of her eye,

the boy inside is wild, and free.

Beneath the white glow of her eye,

The girl inside is wild, and free.

so please,

Just leave me be.
