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?
