Sorry for life’s catastrophe
My mission fell into the sea
There, lost in a world without sails-
I could not find your holy grail

Our fairy tale went sadly wrong
No matter the sound of my song
I questioned the world, but I failed-
I could not find your holy grail

Sorry, I was not there for you
When our story did not come true
There was no wine to cure the frail-
I could not find your holy grail


Editor: Erynn Crittenden
