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.
