Once upon a time,
I thought I could Save you
From the daemons and dragons
Haunting your Craving mind.
I then Craved the act of Saving
because it defined me.
You are Afro-Canadian, I am White as snow.
In my naivety I thought I could erase the infamy of slavery
By offering you the purity of my Everlasting Love.
Little did I foresee the cruelty of destiny.
It sometimes smashes to smithereens
the most pristine of our dreams
Leaving only
an
Everlasting
Insatiable
Craving…
