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.
