The First Concern
The first reaction to something deeply hurtful.
Rated:

Avg Rating: (3)
Even when you hurt me
Your first concern
Was for yourself
Nobody else
No understanding
Immediately the victim

Even when you hurt me
The step to understanding
Was one step too much
No comfort in your words
Or even in a touch
Your first concern
Was for yourself
