For You Dear.

These are the hearts that we put to sleep,

These are the lines we're said to keep.

We play around like swing sets in the park,

keeping our distances like the sun.

 

I'd like to pick you apart,

Be the artist that stole your heart,

Out of that complex body part,

Like intricate puzzles we adore,

The mess we are sorry for.

 

You said it didn't exist, but here it resides,

In the hole it was first designed for,

I fell in love with a vacant place,

Used for your secrets your top drawer can't hold anymore,

Where you hid your favorite sins away.

 

You're the one I adored,

Along with the empty room you wore,

I was evicted with your dishonesty,

Which is why I'm here on display for you dear,

You’re the reason I can't forget this season every year.
