A poem about the mystery of rejection (it turns out I was overreacting =]   how rare =]

You’ve stopped talking to me and I don’t know why... I hate this - this feeling - this anguish, with it’s retinue of mysteries. Was it something I said? I’m sorry - I curse my rebel lips. Was it something I didn’t say? I’m sorry - I was the unaware child. I’m just a girl – not some faultless machine There needs to be a manual – a manual for... everything - so I'd know. Is there a more contemporary narrative than disappointment at the hands of this Internet plaything - this toy-like trap we hope will inform us and we think we command? I know questioning destroys some things.. but I don’t understand. I don’t understand.

This reads like my own internal voice, forever guessing scenario after scenario.
