Wedding Ring

A wedding ring falling,

Clanging against the wooden floor

The sound rings throughout the house

The room was empty,

Not a soul stirring

Yet, the wedding ring fell,

A sacred symbol of marriage

Brushed aside, as if it didn't mean

Anything

I wish I could know why,

What the motivation behind it was,

If there's a ghostly specter

Residing in our family home

But, I suppose, we'll never know

After all, the dead

Can only speak so loud
