i don't think it's necessarily a romantic relationship, but there's a relationship that's been broken due to deception, like eyelinerlove pointed out.
''Your hands are always reaching out of favor.
Your kind are only good for bad behavior.
Your mouth was never one to trust.
You're always speaking out,
Falling far behind,
Falling out of line."
--that makes me think of deception, especially the ''your kind are only good for bad behaviour/your mouth was never one to trust/falling out of line" part, like this person lies a lot, or enjoys starting trouble way too much.
Despite your lack of pride.
You wore your imperfections well.
Dignified.
Spend your time alone.
Trace your footsteps home.
''Farewell,
This blackened eye.
Your learned your lessons falling down.
Far behind, and tracing footsteps home.
''Farewell,
This bitter tongue.
You spoke your lessons falling down, talking out,
And breaking silence."
--the speaker has taken to naming them bitter tongue and blackened eye basically because of the way they've hurt others. probably a manner of bullying, the type that causes trouble and knocks people down as a means of nullifying their own shortcomings. i mostly get that impression from this line:
''Despite your lack of pride.
You wore your imperfections well.
Dignified."
''Despite the harm you've done,
You swallowed your rejection well.
Amplified.
Sing your song alone.
Trace your footsteps home."
''You learned your lessons/You spoke your lessons
falling down"
--most likely it all came back to the dishonest person and she's saying that they took it rather well, which isn't common for those types.
