I give it 5 stars



The ebbing tide caresses my toes
I hold in my hand a single red rose
Memories of a romance that came to a close
Something between us that nobody knows

I cast the rose into the sea
To watch it flow away from me
Now that I am truly free
Though I didn’t really want to be

Another day, to numb the pain
I stand on the shore amidst the rain
I carry a letter of romantic bane
Tears kiss the paper and sign with a stain

I hold the paper out in my hand
To end the sparks within the sand
I slowly drop, unable to stand
With pomp and blare, a finale grand

I find myself in the shivering cold
Wrapped in a soft blanket I hold
The last memoir of our story told
To all of the world, written in gold

What is this object I hold in my hand?
A simple golden wedding band.
