Red Ribbon
The candles burning on the hand carved table
Sitting here alone
Memories from my past
To most it’s all unknown
That ribbon on my finger
That won’t let me forget
Tug as I might
Hard as I can
My finger turns blue
And there’s nothing I can do
The red thread
It taunts
Teases
Just as you did my emotions
‘Till one day I broke
But that red silky ribbon
Still on my finger
Silently spoke
I fear
If I ever did get it off
It’d hurt even worse
The scar left
Would be more of a curse
Then that silky red ribbon
You left on my finger
The pain of getting it off
The scar left would be worse
It’ll hurt either way
But for now I’ll just stay
Sitting here
Watching the candles burn
On the hand carved table
Alone
The red ribbon once beautiful
I’d never forget you
It won’t stop throbbing
My heart won’t stop breaking
I still think
It’s easier this way
So the red ribbon will stay
