Your ring’s been lying under my bed for some time now.
It’s the ring you gave me after our first year together
In a loop that meant forever, if you could keep going round.
Now it’s just a silver circle and the meaning has leaked
Out of it, like a horseshoe upside-down.
I wonder where all those feelings go.
Did you lock them out, key under the doormat
Or hide it in a far safer place.
Did you torch them, pictures hot with memories
Which promised then never delivered.
Or did they just fall and you forgot to pick them up
Like your ring under my bed.
I guess I never really knew what went on
In your head. You always ran in a circle around me.
I think I’ll leave it there.
