She!

"For she was like the night

That melts itself by the dawn

Little Dew drops upon

Flowers; as they bloom

For she was like the night

That let stars shine

And pretending fine

She lets her darkness grow

For it’s always someone’s darkness

That brings light to another

And someone’s ruins

Upon which other’s dreams flourish;

Being young; this tempts one into

Her dimension, only

To be disappointed

Often, for she never misses

To return the favor

She was like the night

This lets no one see her;

For it is either too dark

Or too bright - filled with moon-light

To be worried about

What she asks for, to

What she gives,

While she continues to smile

In the backyard of one’s ignorance."
