My Holy Grail

Baby

it's amazing,

this maze I'm lost in with you.

Twists of tenderness,

walls of silence I can't break through.

I trace the lines of your moods

like sacred glyphs,

but I can’t crack your code.

One dawn, you scream

love into the sky

a wild hymn,

echoing louder than thunder.

By dusk, you're frost and fog,

your eyes turned distant,

as if I’d never stood in your sun.

One day you're here,

a warmth I could drink.

The next—gone.

One day you care,

the next you disappear.

Unfair,

this push and pull

of a love that's more war than waltz.

Still, I sip from your chalice,

greedy for the taste

until it spills

until it drowns me.

A sacred overflow,

a poisoned grace—

my own Holy Grail.
