I have been wounded so often and so painfully,
And I myself have wounded-quite unwittingly-
With casual tenderness while passing by,
And later someone felt the pain,
It was like walking barefoot over the ice
So why do I step upon the ruins
Of those most near and dear to me,
I, who can be so simply and so sharply wounded
And can wound others with such deadly ease???
