This Ring

By SilentStalker

This ring was for eternity
It showed how much you meant to me
And everything I'd hoped we'd be
Why did you ruin our destiny?

And for my sadness, you I blame
my life will never be the same
That night we loved; that night you came
While screaming someone else's name

And then to see that fateful night
I watched you in the dim moonlight
He was my friend; this was not right
Why did you have to start this fight?

And it was he; that precious boy
Who brought you endless nights of joy
How dare you use me as a toy
And think you'd pull this spiteful ploy

But now it's over, I must say
My former friend has gone away
You found his head the other day
When you went to his house to play

And still my love, I am not through
Tonight I'm coming after you
Do you know what I plan to do?
Oh, please do guess; I want you to!

Oh my dear love, when did it start?
This broken love; this broken heart?
These tiny, scattered body parts
You're truly now a work of art

Oh, love is such an awful thing
Such pain a cheating heart would bring
This burning hate; this awful sting
This bloody knife; this bloody ring

A former member wrote: Darun, your anger and pain are like diamonds in the rough, they are sharp and jagged on the outside, but beautiful and pristine on the inside. I sound like such a pansy sometimes.
A former member wrote: Everyone pick on this guy, he comes up with a lot of good stuff. j/k seriously, good write. The violence only makes me love it more.
