Her Ring

I looped her ring on my guitar
To a string that fed a chord
On lonely nights the song of her
Would gut me like a sword

I play her tune in circumspect
Strong without a pause
Hearing her within the rings
Quaking band applause

Ill never make hit records
The time for that is cold
Yet melodies that drew her in
Were cast within its gold

My song cant gift her justice
Should you happen past my yard
You can hear this soft vibration
If youve listened close and hard

A chord I struck so long ago
Anchored by a string
Sealed above my fretting hand
Forever bares her ring

-Hermit King-
