Antoinette Blue

I had a dream, a scary dream
Fading away in the distance
I froze

That warmth I should have felt
I was searching for it
Just one more time

A lonely night laid bare
With nowhere to run, nothing at all

Oh, someday while I was lost
I blamed myself

So stay by my side
And say it’ll be forever
Until I drown out the devil’s voice
I’ll hold on tight
And gently make sure

Those precious memories
Even if they turn into mistakes
Hey, for some reason, they’re just beautiful

A blue butterfly
With a hairpin from the sea
Adorning my back

You danced in the wind
Laughing, saying it looked like a specimen

Swallowed by a whirl of shining light
But it was just too gentle

I knew I was ready to pull the trigger

So stay by my side
Keep touching me right
To the point I melt into your fingers
In that pleasure that stops my breath

A dry promise
Leaves a keloid
Yet it’s still so dear

So stay by my side
And say it’ll be forever
Until I drown out the devil’s voice
I’ll hold on tight
And gently make sure

Someday, if all of this
Turns into mistakes, I won’t mind
I’ll surrender to love.
