Ring of Lost Hope

One ring for one love in my life
My love as pure as the gold
In which it was forged
Pure love that will never grow cold

The diamonds will last forever
Withstanding the test of time
I love one with all my heart
Loving one so much, is my only crime

One ring, is now just a reminder to me
Of my pure love for only one
Close to my heart it will now remain
My love now given to none

The stone will shine less as before
I will keep love for one inside maturing
Waiting until death takes my soul
For one, my love is totally enduring
