The Ring

I barely perceive the world as it slips from my mind

I’m crazy, I’ve lost it, I’m gone

In a dream I can only hold you so close

I slipped the ring on your finger as I awoke

Beneath the east river, threw up

The subway cars all pushed and shoved

Hid my face

Embarrassed with all my choices

The chaos of all the voices

I lost you

I lost you forever

I can still remember how you kiss

I can’t believe this is it

This is it

I barely perceive the world as it slips from my mind

I’m crazy, so crazy, you’re gone

In hotels I can hold you so close

You slipped the ring off your finger

Is this a joke
