Don't put a ring on my finger:
And expect to conquer me,
It's just a ring—Without your attention
It's just a gesture, without your devotion
It's just a ring, a mimic, a ploy;
A mission statement of sorts.
I need your heart-
I need to feel your emotions.
You're going through the motions
By given me tokens.
Without the inward things...
It's just a ring.
UN flattered I remain..
As I refuse to be, your fling;
Or just another..." trophy lover".
