My Piece of Gold/Your White Lines

Denial flows for so long
My eyes and my hands are slowly aging
Whilst yours have already melted down to the bone
You could do better than me
Someone gorgeous, intelligent, patient, sensible
Tried to change you when I needed it more
So here I am, leaving you one last time
Maybe we could finish some things now
Never on our feet when back together
Just on our backs, on the grass, in the sack, amongst the rocks
Don't say you're okay 'cause I can read you well
I can read you line after line
Line after line
Line after line

This poem in particular means that I was lying to myself and my ex towards the end of our relationship. I felt that deserves someone he sees as perfection and it isn't me. When we were together, we would just always be on drugs and I have kicked those habits. I've dumped him time after time bc of his massive cocaine, weed, and alcohol usages. Now that we're finally separated, we could finish things on our own instead of slowing eachother down w our different lifestyles.
