feelings dump

i'm sad
i've made you so angry
and i barely know why
and you told me why
and i can't tell you why
i just say how ok things are going to be
after this
and you are upset
and are tired of telling me why you are upset
more than tired
exasperated
and i'm so scared i'm going to lose you
and i've already lost you
and i can't tell if i've lost you to me
or to yourself
but either way you're coming to get the rest of your stuff
and i called you and wanted only to hear your voice
to tell you that i loved you
and instead told you how scared i was
and you told me i was right to be
because i don't know why you're upset
i thought i'd get a little hope from hearing your voice
i didnt
your mind is already made up
about how i don't listen
and i feel li-
wait
it doesn't matter
my fear 
because it's over
it's just one more over thing
and i tried to make myself cry and almost did
but couldn't
i put on the saddest song
with more poetry than i could muster
a leonard cohen song 
well i came close
but what do i know?
no literally
what do i know?
do i know things will be ok and we will be back
or do i know that the first part is true regardless of the second
well i do know that
things will be ok
fuck 
they are going to be so ok
it will make everything seem so small
someday
and new love will heal old wounds
someday
and my capacity for love is not diminished by its loss
it grows
sooner than i think
i'll be so much better than i am now
look
check it out
i didn't even cry
i barely feel anything
