The Ring
He’s wearing a ring but not happy
His face wears a frown and is gray
She’s missing her ring and can fake it
But they only watch her at play
She’s wearing her ring but is busy
Her eyes never meet yours or shine
He’s wearing a ring but moves on there
But everyone knows they aren’t fine
She says that her ring was just missing
He’s no longer there by her side
Then suddenly there is a ring on
But it’s not the one that brought pride
And look there he’s wearing a ring now
A piece that seems strange but it’s sweet
His Lovely beams bright, can’t stop smiling
Their wedding a serious feat
The rings are still on but no feeling
It’s said that they’re worn for their three
A ring sparkles on social media
The dancer is so full of glee
These rings so well fashioned as treasures
Declare something in the spotlight
It’s worn, it’s off, how do we make sense
When hands change most every night
Why can’t they just make up their minds here
And love or love less behind doors
Why must we all witness their messiness
And herald celebrity wars
But rings will just keep getting bigger
The diamonds and gold will distract
And sadly these people won’t realize
Their own lives are now just an act.
