Midnight Butterfly
You came to me like contraband,
A vivid splash of color
In this pale monochrome land
Infested by sickly vultures.
I saw life blaze in your eyes
Drawing me in like a pyro
Dancing around a fire,
Let me be your Romeo.
Come into my arms, let's waltz
Until we melt together,
Scalding down these icy walls,
We'll be as one forever-
In a world of our design;
I dream in your arms, breathless.
The clock chimes twelve time,
I feel you growing restless.
I awake, you've pulled away,
Hastily running for the doors;
I'm left in disarray,
Alone on the ballroom floor.
Oh my midnight butterfly,
This cannot be good-bye,
I'll travel a thousand miles,
I'll find you and make you mine!
Let's fly away together,
Leave behind our rags and riches,
All we need is each other,
We'll grant our own wishes.
We'll live where the blushing skies
Kiss the emerald valleys,
There we can be together
Melted together, eternally free.
