The Darkness -- The Class Ring
The Class Ring
He approached her slowly
then paused to stand,
and removed his class ring
from her slender hand.
All who were watching
didn't dare to speak,
as silent tears
rolled down his cheek.
All through his mind
the memories ran,
of mements they walked
and laughed on the sand.
But now her eyes
were so terribly cold,
and he'd never
have her to hold.
They all watched in silence
as he bent down near,
and whispered "I love you"
into her ear.
He touched her face
and started to cry,
he clutched that ring
and wished he could die.
Then all of her relatives
gathered around,
as they lowered her casket
into the ground.
All of them thought
she'd still be alive,
if only we had told her
" don't drink and drive."
