Insomniac

Insomniac

There's a man made of starsĀ 
With the eyes of an AriesĀ 
He spoke in a dialect only the sky could understand
He would whisper in the night
With a violent twinkle in the air
He would tell stories of his scarsĀ 
Orion's Belt, The Leo, The Virgo
For hours on end I would
Listen to his musingsĀ 
Never stirring from my window
Simply listening as the night dragged on and the moon tiredly ignored himĀ 
He would Ā reach across the skiesĀ 
With his fiery fingertipsĀ 
I, drugged with his presence, could not sleep,Ā 
Would it have done me any good?Ā 
For he was to leave soonĀ 
He was the voice in the stillnessĀ 
I could waste my pretty ears onĀ 
So I did not bother as he continued his tales
Soon he burned the skies so muchĀ 
The sun began to form
As the moon took his breakĀ 
I wept as he left to his daily isolationĀ 
Leaving me tired and withdrawnĀ 
They call me an insomniac
they say I'm addicted to himĀ 
The man made of starsĀ 
With the eyes of an AriesĀ
