Eternity Ring

Entwined vines lined delicately with gemstones
Each stone holding dearly a story, a memory
The band around her finger was far too large
As was his generous heart
At the time it seemed the perfect gift
Though the future was yet to come
In commemoration of one year
Of love, of hope, of unity
In commemoration of one year
Of faith, of trust, of belief
What did it mean? A promise of eternity
The infinite shape of the ring
Resonating forever and ever and ever
The infinite shape of the ring
Pointless
Meaningless
Holding together
A promise never kept
