~Confusing~

this is
no place
to lay
your tears

same old grind
just trying
to stay
optimistic in
this deprave
cultural moment
were living in
for me
nothings over

fierce dedication
finely burning
somebody give
me a refill
I fear
I lost
my bark

it's hard
to translate
the smallest of gestures
it could
have been sweet
but it's
confusing in
it's beauty

you could
have been a
better friend
I suppose so
refusing the
shelter
of illusion
I want
to see

I just
thought
it would be
nice for
us to get through
soup together
that's a
fine ambition
to get
through soup
