for the marriage was good in its own
time, though that time is gone" in this lines she is letting the reader know that her marriage was good thats why she cant sale the ring even though everything that had to do with it is past and it wont be coming back. she also mentions friendship which lets me know that they are more in a friendship level. most people that separate hate each other but from what i see they were friends before then decided to get married but it wasnt love love, it was the love of friends.there were promises that were made but they just couldnt keep; i think she is hurt by this. she left her feelings go. she did not dealt with her feelings she decided to ignored them. "It lies
among keys to abandoned houses,
nails waiting to be needed and hammered
into some wall," she hasnt heal from it. in all she is describing her past relationship in which she obviously love the man but is just hurt and they were better off being friends
I agree with you on your idea. The marriage was good but only in the past. The ring represents her past and her past is filled with unfulfilled promises. She wants to let go of the past and forget
