The GumWrapper Reminder
This ring on my hand tells a little secret
that i wish to share
one that keeps me alone
and reminds me how i used to care


there is something on my hand
that i will never forget
it will remind me of the night
on which our eyes first met
this ring tells the story
that is as old as time
but now it has a new twist
that i can explain in this rhyme

it started as i said
on that starry night
and your eyes were locked
tightly in my sight
your freind and mine
needed time alone
and so we talked
and you put your name in my phone

i threw down gum paper
that you picked back up
and you changed that trash
into a form of love
one that i will always keep
next to my heart
even though times will change
and we may grow apart

i didnt know how to act
or even what to say
but i am still regreting
what i didnt do till this day
but i cant change the past
no matter how hard i try
and i can never take back those tears
that i have made you cry

i didnt think that i
would mean that much
and i didnt know
how much you needed my touch
neither did i know
how much i needed yours
and now without it
my heart is cold on the floor

the ring is encased in tape
as my heart is shut
it strengthens the ring
and my heart  it rusts
oh how i wish for those nights
in the country air
where all was calm
and there were no cares

but that time has passed
and its only a memory
and this ring is a symbol
of how i used to be
i wear this weight on my finger
to tell me your not  coming back
and that i must move on
into the future so black...
