Plastic Ring

Electric static
A restless headline
Echoes roaring through the night
Neon lights colliding
Coins crash below
Into a ravenous machine

We stood between
Chaos and destiny
Laughing till time stood still
A mechanical grace
Placed in ready hands
Silver orbs spinning
Heavy as truth
Yet they fit

Plastic rings
Forged in electric flames
Holding the weight
Of a world unplanned
Plastic rings
Born from dark and depth
Enduring tempests
Unnamed, unfaced

Once I believed
Strength was in steel
Anchors, chains, battles fought

But something delicate
Tightened around me
And held steadfast
No rescue mission
No iron bars
Just orbit

Two restless souls
Learning gravity's pull
No vows etched in stone
Just quiet revolutions
Around our blazing Sun

Even when storms break
When cities dissolve
When maps rewrite themselves

I remember
How the weightless bond
Held us together
Plastic rings
Brilliant as fallen stars
Proof that forever
Needs no decree

Home wasn't forged
It glimmered
And we stepped into it
And stayed
