Notes:

i have had this tagged for so long omg.

i went on a trip, so sorry for the hiatus (i wish manon came back as quick as i did). i wrote a few poems and 1 letter on this amazing trip, but i am still behind on posting. i have time to catch up, so hopefully i will!

this is the sequel to a poem of mine from my old book. "ring" was one of my favorite poems, inspired by another fic. it was great to write, and i read it again, and it felt... incomplete. it felt like it needed a sequel. so i wrote one! it is tagged above for context :)

i hope you enjoy!

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

i took the ring out of my pocket
the one that was meant for You
i cannot just lock it
away in there to break my heart in two.

the ring was going to stay there
because it was my affection for You
but it was hurting me like the claws of a bear
and i couldn’t bear it making a scar new.

the ring is on my desk
i nailed it right on top
thats where it is, the rest.
the rest i try to lock.

it has my computer
and my book with the notes.
those two, my heart is propped
on the desk where it boasts.

it screams about my love
how i was so enamoured
i just want to shove
the sound like it's slander.

i will keep it there
because throwing away the past,
even with care,
will just make the thought last.

Notes:

thanks for reading! <333
