The ring is removed

All has changed
Dedicated to one another
Now there is nothing

She watches in amazement

As the ring is removed from her friend
As others laugh like it is a happy time

When the tears in his eyes and hers
Shows all the memories
She thinks what type of person smiles at a time like this
What motivates them
She continues to watch

The pain in their faces
The ring is tossed away
The symbol tarnished

And they laugh
Finally she realizes
the ones that laugh
Are the ones that have never felt the pain

The pain of loss
The pain of betrayal
The pain of hopelessness
The pain of malice

These are the ones that only inflict that pain
having never once had the tables turned
Lowers her head in shame
Feeling deeply for the one
whose ring was thrown away
