burnt . . . out

it appears one of michael's chief complaints is that i didn't give him enough warning about the condition of our relationship. he thought everything was fine. for him my lack of communication seems to be at the root of the issue. here's my rebuttal. if you've been in a building that was set on fire by the person you're with and you stayed long enough in that building to have 70% of your body burned, yielding scarring that you're still dealing with,  then maybe it shouldn't come as a surprise that you might first flee the next building the two of you occupy when you see that same person carrying around a 5 gallon drum of kerosene and a book of matches. just saying. still perhaps i understate.
