The Ring

The ring is gone
It ran
It fled

Come back!
Stay on my finger!
In vain I begged

The ring stopped running
It turned to me
It looked at my tears and said simply
I'm sorry

Then it turned away and continued on
There was nothing I could do but watch in shock

I tried for a while to make it return
But all attempts failed
Nothing worked

Now I'm done calling out
The ring is gone
Without a doubt

Should it come back I'll welcome it home
But if it doesn't
I guess I'll go on alone
