Phantom Ring

There’s a phantom of our love

That exasperates through old touch

My finger lost so much

It couldn’t bear to budge what was

So on my finger sits a ring that no longer exists or so it seems

It’s no longer there but it has been

Oh it had been

I asked you to marry me

You said yes I was filled with glee

Thought I found the one to be

My bride where I dressed in white with gold ridden through the seams

But we ripped apart through them before I could ever be

Gold I’d never be

Our love we failed to see

Our minds monstrosities captivated all our weddings festivities

As it was happening we thought oh god no please!

But we didn’t believe a god so we just sat there crying oh so hopelessly on our god forsaken knees

We knew the end was approaching

We couldn’t handle it

We were poaching for each others hearts

But our minds had a head start

Never could capture them and pull them apart from what we really wanted

So that sunrise I departed

I wrote you a note, a love letter that broke

A chain of letters that spoke

That we needed to stop being each-others antidotes

I left the ring as tears stroked my cheek

Wishing it was your fingers but it just couldn’t be

Taking it off felt wrong

My finger agreed

The air around it lingered a little more heavily

Phantom ring

Phantom ring

I wish to you I could bring

The ring that would bring wedding bells to sing

Ding ding ding

But instead they sing different things

Non existence

Still believing it belonged there for a reason

But the reason is dying

Finger you’ll never be finding what had been

I rid of you phantom

Ghost of my past

I sincerely wish I didn’t have to

But you’re no longer of use

Hope died when she looked in to another’s eyes and found a fonder love

Hope died when I realized we’d never be what was

Phantom ring, you died once our heart strings were cut

Rest In Peace now

She’s at peace now

Leave me be now

So I can be found
