Discoloration

my finger is discolored where my ring usually sits
a green that shows how often it is worn
when taken off it leaves a stain
to remind me
where it once sat

my finger is discolored where my ring used to sit
before everything changed and fell apart
pushed out the door
and far away
he took the ring with him

my finger is discolored where my ring used to sit
before the betrayal that rocked my world
unfaithful and untrue
heartbroken
the ring was thrown away

my finger is discolored where my ring used to sit
before the world changed
