Abandoned Ring

The rain has finally stopped

And the last tear has dropped

I’m trying to hold up my head

And clean up where I have bled

Our hearts together equaled emptiness

And you know I won’t be wearing that wedding dress

Because I left the ring by your feet at the floor

And I left before one last “you’re a whore”

I left you there with your bottles and cans

I left you there because you were hardly a man

I left because the scars still hurt

And I was tired of hiding bruises under long-sleeved shirts

I was tired of hearing “I love you” every time you wanted sex

And I was tired about wondering if your addiction would cause a wreck

And I knew it wouldn’t be long until I was dead inside

I knew it wouldn’t be long until I gave up and went for the ride

I said goodbye to you that day

And I hope you go to hell and enjoy your stay

My heart is now slowly healing

And I have a brand new feeling

The feeling is a love so true

And that is nothing I could ever get from you
