Trophy Love

Trophy Love:
Don't put a ring on my finger: 
And expect to conquer me, 
It's just a ring—Without your attention
It's just a gesture, without your devotion
It's just a ring, a mimic, a ploy;
A mission statement of sorts.
I need your heart- 
I need to feel your emotions.
You're going through the motions 
By given me tokens.
Without the inward things... 
It's just a ring. 
UN flattered I remain..
As I refuse to be, your fling;
Or just another..." trophy lover".
