Shrunken

The ring slips
Around my finger
Until I can no longer
See the red of the ruby

My finger is smaller
Than when I first
Bought my ring
And now it won't stay

Around and around
Like the blood in my veins
Goes my ring, taking
A tour of my finger

I try to set it straight
But the dips don't
Cease
I give up the fight

And allow my ring
To allign itself
Wherever it feels
It need to be
