Ivory

I once rode upon an ebon steed
By the name of Ivory it went
My pride and confidence, things I need
A creed we followed, never it shall be bent
To find true love, a woman to keep dear
A surprise to both of us, to find you
Ivory's legs trembled, buckled in fear
Never more difficult, a heart to woo
Her black hide, a void in the white sands crossed
Faded, her muscles diminished to fat
And slowly I realized, the heart we tossed
Was one, man and steed united at that
Ivory merely stayed me ways away
From other women, that lead me astray
