White lines.

 

White lines

I watched you chase those white lines,

As though they'd make you more divine.

Each breath you took, each powder trace,

Made me recoil, turned love to waste.

You buried truths with every sniff,

A hollow man, a broken myth.

Your eyes grew cold, a soulless spark,

While I stood lost, swallowed in dark.

I watched you ruin all you were,

Fading fast in that poison blur.

The lie you fed, the game you played,

It made me sick, made love degrade.

The white lines you craved, they twisted you,

Turned my love into something cruel.

I can’t look back, I can’t forget—

The disgust I feel, the growing debt.

You chose the high, you chose the fall,

While I was left to see it all.

You made your choice, and it’s a shame—

For all those lines, you’ve lost your name.
