'With this Ring I thee...'

'With this Ring I thee...'

Clank!

I'm not guilty

I tell you.

I shouldn't even be here

I pace endlessly

The loneliness and despair

Are choking me...

The invisible train of time

Is passing without warning.

I can feel its vibrations

Soon I'll be old

And too weak to break out.

My sentence has been long

I have been a model prisoner

I seldom make trouble...

How long have you been married?
