Our Last Braves Game

[Kynaston Levitt]

EDIT

Our Last Braves Game

Outside the ruins, past the crack,
I lost my girl—she lost me back. I actually like this line. It's simple and doesn't need to be complicated
Two home runs and three strikes later, I read this as a somewhat successful but mostly empty dating life
I miss my girl from South Decatur. As you should. 

Maybe this is a more shallow read than you expected?? I'm not quite sure.

Oh no, it's not more shallow than I expected. It wasn't intended to be particularly deep. It's plain as I knew it was when I wrote it. It is, like I said, straight forward. Hence, I didn't get the confusion. Busker made an assertion that the "lost" line was redundant. My explanation was simply an answer to that. But, like you said, the second line is simple and doesn't  really need complication—or explanation. 

(yes, the 3rd line you are spot on. But, again, isn't that like a straight forward metaphor? Like you don't have to think about it too much? I'm really nonplussed how anyone could say of it "I don't understand..." anyway, thanks for reading xxx)
