How I failed
I didn't take the time to listen and make sure we were on the same page when I felt the clock ticking and wanted to go home to bed to my sweetheart and sent you away in a cab alone to your solitude and sadnes/I missed the signs and symptoms because I didn't know what I was doing and you were looking for help and I didn't manage it and lost the chance with you/I was too afraid of your race and you sex and refused to see you alone in a corner so waited and waited for a space in full view and the waiting was too much and you left, with no help, noone who seemed to care enough/I didn't offer you hope and saw your situation as dire and a dead end and it came across in my tone and in my "sorry"s which you didn't come to hear and didn't want to know that I was sorry when you wanted help and hope/I didn't listen to the stories that were important to you and cut you off and you felt I didn't hear you, really hear you, and you left feeling unheard and your world ignored.
