Misinterpretations will lead you to dark places

[US poet]

Things were spoken that I never thought would come from you,
and it hurts me so much that you feel that way.
I don't know what I did to make you see me in your eyes in that light,
but it hurts me,
to my very core,
I'd take it back if I could,
but I don't know if that would help.
I'd apologize,
but I don't know what for,
I'd tell you it's all OK,
and why can't we have what we had before you saw me this way.
Why do I have to be me,
why do I have to exist in the way that you hate,
I want to be someone you like,
someone you care for,
someone who'll always be there for you,
but I don't know if that's me anymore.
One of these days I hope you look back,
but it just hurts so much that right now you aren't.
I'll try to talk to you,
but you seem so distant,
so cold,
I really just want to try one more time to make it right.
I might be alright one day,
but that day isn't tonight.
Oh wait,
a message from you,
what's this?
You were just busy?!
Heh I guess I misread this whole situation.

@us-poet The end tho 😂 😂 😂

This hits a little too close to home - how many of us have over-dramatised a missing reply, how many of us could never really expel the doubt that the other person was not "just busy"?
