infinity
some years ago i placed a simple band
on your finger representing infinity
and naive me i really thought,
i thought that you would love me, infinitely
but that band became just a ring
another piece of token everyday jewelry
and that day we stood underneath
the omnipotent eye God,
i soon would learn was just a day
you took something intangible
and you touched it and handled it
you fumbled it and crushed it
and ever so easily you handed it back to me
you put infinity in my hand
with ease when you said you loved me
but were no longer in love with me
you traded our infinity for your finite pleasure
and you didn't even try to spare me
you must have wanted me to know
you left your text messages on our computer screen
and silly me, in love with the thought of infinity
i wanted to try to get through it
i was going to deal with your infidelity
because that day was more than a day to me
i stood before God and he was watching me
and i said i would love you infinitely
i guess you don't realize what all of that means
now i'm moving out and get ready to sign papers
trading my band for tears of infinity.
