Radiance

Curled around your finger,

I reflect the silver light,

Once a shining beacon of love,

I no longer glow so bright,

I offer no defense,

To the things you put me through,

Every day I grow more tarnished,

Sort of, just like you.

An ornament on a keychain,

That unlocks the gates of Hell,

A stand a silent witness,

As you ring the morbid bell,

I’m with you ‘til the end,

Whatever that may be,

We’ll get through this together,

The pair of us, you and me.

We are forever changed,

We can’t undo the past,

But we can wash away the grime,

Give this face a fighting chance,

But I guess I’m just a ring,

It’s not my choice what you do,

Still I beg you, let me shine again,

Hear your heart-It wants to too.
