The protagonist is angry at her partner for hurting her and misses him at the same time. She pretended to be okay but she feels numb, like she can't feel anything at all. Her partner gave her money for therapy but she only went once and he didn't say anything. She feels like she has a sickness that makes her emotions shake and she wishes she could scream to block out the pain. Even though she's on the outside now, looking into her partner's room, she feels sorry that things had to end this way.
