You, a male god,
were a handsome black son
of a Virgo woman,
but you ended up
not quite an anti-Christ
even though your laughter
was my altar.

I, a female goddess,
was your paper background
so you could shine the brightest
even if my knowledge was brighter.

You told me I was your only love.
I don't doubt it,
but it makes me sad
that you had no others.

I pray for you to this day
that you don't lead a Sasuke life
or that it lasts no longer than a decade,
the end of which you will take back
some responsibility
for your thoughts and feelings,
and see how I was
a cosmic blessing after all
to your infinite lives.

I do not know in which life
I will see you again
as I did not call dibs this time.
If it is to be this one,
may you be kind
when you witness my future children
who are not your own.

May I be kind
when I witness what you have
and have not done
by that unfortunate or fortuitous time.

In the end
you were a black hole,
and I was
a figment of your imagination.
