Dots & Lines

You were right when you said
You would turn out to be
The lonely boy that
I would already see
When you grew tired of
Looking endlessly for all those ways to fix
What’s left of the bitter taste
If she only knew how you wanted to believe
Every subdued smile she threw at you
After she walked out
It lingered in your mouth
For such a long time
And it was so clear to me when
You left town for
You never really learned to tell any difference between
All the dots and lines that made up her heart
She was only trying to mend
While her eyes said goodbye
If she only knew
How much it would tear you apart
