writer's cramp entry about finding a ring
A broken ring found in a box;
cracked stone, twisted band.
A ring of broken promises,
unspoken hurts and unshed tears.

White lace, sullied grace,
long days, longer nights,
dreams shattered by
alcohol and fights.

Memories of you
released with that ring
find a swollen finger
and a hardened  heart.

Now the band is fixed.
The stone replaced.
Memories don’t haunt,
because of a ring in a box.
