She slips my ring from her delicate hand
Her exquisite, comely palm outstretches
Giving me back my loving wedding band
"I love another, I need to be free"

I want to freeze time and begin again
"I'm sorry, but we can no longer be"
Our dreams of happiness disintegrate
Her words so shattering they fragment me

Ring in her elegant hand still unwinds
Ever within the canyons of my mind
