With This Ring AMK 11/5/01 With this ring they pledged to one another Starting out a marriage based on pure love They honestly thought theirs was Based on a love from high above The bills started coming in He started drinking every night She would awaken To him sneaking in the house in early morning light Two kids and a house morgage later The stress took it's toll and started the downfall She screamed to him so many times for help He just seemed to not hear her call With this ring, they said they'd always love That was before his love of the bottle became more She's had it now though No longer taking it, she's walking out the door Children in tow, they are leaving this misery behind There's got to be something better out there She'll find it for them and herself Even if it requires searching everywhere With this ring, no longer matters She leaves it on the bathroom sink As he sits across town in the bar Oblivious to what lies ahead, he takes another drink "I could kiss you in the rain forever. Turn all of your pain to pleasure Fill up your days with sunlight, make the passion last every night" [This message has been edited by Aimster (edited 11-06-2001).] |

Very well written, Amy. The ring of fire is all he will be left holding onto, for he traded in the ring of love. |
