The History of Confusion #7


You looked into me for something

What could it be?

A new perspective that could somehow make you feel better about the sins you’ve committed?

A new excuse to make you feel more justified for your action?

Or just someone to lean on when your life falls apart again.

All of the times I’ve been there to put you back together

But who came to put me back together,

It was never you because you caused the reckoning.
