Charm



Ever since you entered my existence,
Complications have been on the rise.
Old masks and poses lose their relevance,
Fading away with each exhale of your suspires.

The challenge to adapt to your mind's pace,
Unveiling new depths with every thought,
Stirs the desire to keep up with your trial,
That's the charm that can't be obtained.
