Insomniac's Passion

It teases and torments
Flirting behind pillows
Luring you with siren song

When you timidly approach
It flies to dark corners
Whispering its sweet words

Desperate and longing
You search wildly for it
Hoping to ensnare it

Finally you give in
Realizing it’s a tormentor
Fooling you into belief

Another night it will succumb
You will blissfully own it
Dreaming at last…peacefully
