Description
If I hurt you And you hurt me And I hurt you And you hurt me What does that make? Does that make us even? Regrettably It takes us Further from beginning Closer to end An aching heart Does not Cannot feel Anything but the sting Of the cursory pain Every hurt delivers A little death A slow death This is how empires fall And lovers fail
Thank you for reading.

It is said that "revenge is a dish better taken cold" - though I suspect that it's better not taken at all since it diminishes both perpetrator and victim. I suppose the motive behind the hurt is crucial here: if both have hurt through carelessness or thoughtlessness [i.e. by accident so to speak] then with much discussion and care the situation can be rescued and even strengthened. If the hurts are deliberate on both sides,the realtionship is dead anyway. The worst scenario [imho] is when someone deliberately hurts their in response to an accidental hurt. That's simply unjustified. A very well written piece, made me think! Thank you. Mike

It reminds me of what one would think is good for him, the other party would think what is good for him and then there is the part which is good for both. Very well said.
