You Hurt Me First (A Poem)
Image courtesy of Pixabay I never wanted to hurt you. I’m sorry if I made you angry or made you cry. I said what I had to say. But making you unhappy made part of me want to die. I promised to love you forever. For better or worse. That hasn’t changed but if I crossed a line, Please remember, you hurt me first. Maybe I could have approached things differently, Maybe been a little more sensitive to your needs. Found a way that didn’t put a wedge between the two of us. It is, after all, already the world versus you and me. If I was crude in my approach and even a little cruel Please forgive me because I never intended to do that to you. But please also remember I’m not necessarily thinking straight. Because you hurt me too.
