The pitfalls of love


There's one sad truth in life I've found
While journeying east and west -
The only folks we really wound
Are those we love the best.

We flatter those we scarcely know,
We please the fleeting guest,
And deal full many a thoughtless blow
To those who love us best.

~Ella Wheeler Wilcox

It is true. But is there any way to mend the wound once dealt? Would your love accept your healing attention? Advice?
