Work Text:
I left my wedding ring at home
And came to say goodbye.
I left my wedding ring at home;
I'm here to see you fly.
I will not say that I am sad,
Nor that I am content,
As once a feeling heart I had,
Now tired, numbed and spent.
I see behind the joke and laugh,
Your sentiment laid bare-
Built of your whole, I am the half
That pains you still to share.
You give our days a final say,
And now I heave a sigh.
I left my ring at home today
Because I could not lie.
