I'm really not sure about you

You are saying something
And I'm not sure what
You're pointing at something
And watching the clock
I tried to acknowledge
What it was I thought you meant
But from the turn of your eye
I think I'm way off the scent

Perhaps you could write it
So it can seem much more clear
It seems we are'nt congruent
It's quite lonely in here
Ah I see you've taken a pencil
Do you want me to read?
Oh you've punctured your palm
You're beginning to bleed

What can I get you
Do you want me to help stop the bleeding?
Or is it just acknowledgement
That I see you're needing

Ah you nodded there
Did I get that right?
Oh you're crying, I'm sorry
Is it the pain or the fright?
Let me look at your hand
You must be in pain
Come on I can help you
Let me ascertain

I could get you a bandage
You've cut yourself badly you know
Are you going to run it under cold water?
Oh..... you're going to go?

You should get that looked at
I know a friend who could help
You could stem the blood flow
With some cord or a belt
Whats that? - you're staying
Well I'll make us some tea
Oh I heard you quite wrong, you meant
'you think its I who should leave'

Of course, I'm so sorry
I misunderstood
I'll just get my raincoat

What is this poem trying to say?
What is wrong with you?
If you can at least answer one of these two questions I would appreciate it.
