Ring

Utter beauty, captive inside a ring.
Treasures buried beneath the surface,
The time is right to let go, cut off those threads of string.

You hold on to the endless years of love, clinging.
There is so much you wanted to say, you are wordless.
Utter beauty, held captive inside a ring.
I feel safe with the thought of your touch, a sudden zing,
I read over the documents you left me, with such neat cursive.
The time is right to let go, cut off those threads of string.

The thought of you not being near stings,
You were the one that gave my life purpose.
Utter beauty, held captive inside a ring.

I stand before you, with your halo and wings,
The heart-ache of it all makes me burn like a furnace.
The time is right to let go, cut off those threads of string.

I left out the final words and sing,
I pick up the ring and place it on my finger, for the first time I feel certain.
Utter beauty held captive inside a ring,
The time is right to let go, cut off those threads of string.
