Ring

Tears fall upon a hand,
And rest bejewelled glistening,
Where a diamond aught to stand.
Hurt blinds his eyes and furrows brow,
Hangs heavy tiles on a heart a bowing rafter,
And silence stills where once cracked lines of laughter,
A box, blue hard and lined with white so plush,
On which sits the ring that once had said so much

Well done!

Thank you both, it's a strange little thing - I was tidying up and - anyone want to buy a diamond ring, hardly worn? I think the saddest thing about EBay is the second hand engagement rings - hope and love and future gone and there at bargain prices.
