I take this ring on and off
I strive too hard to become this fake
I spin it across the counter
Amazing how much is spinning to the edge
I ask myself should I stop or let it go
Doesn’t everything eventually fall?
This is how I reason with myself

So let’s talk about the cause of this mess
Hiding behind accomplishment
Are you fond of mental armor?
I have never seen your naked soul
Obviously body heat is not enough
To melt away years of soldering
There is just enough of you to give a name
But not enough to let go

I take this ring on and off
Not because of you
Simple because there is room for question
Room for doubt
All of which I will not find in anyone else
These questions are my own
I have the choice
to spin or wear this ring
