This poem rings true and, to me at least, seems to be dripping with remorse. Maybe I'm just a little overemotional, but this seems soooo sweet to me.

What I love about D.P. is that she takes the persective less realized. Wow, to be so unselfish as to think it's worse to break a heart than to have your own heart broken. It's true. Hurting someone hurts. But I'm not sure I agree that it's worse than being hurt.
