The Only Folk We Really Wound, Are Those We Love The Best

There's one sad truth in life I've found
While journeying east and west-
The only folk we ever wound
Are those we love the best.
We flatter those we scarcely know,
We please the fleeting guest,
And deal full a thoughtless blow
To those who love us best.

-Ella Wheeler Wilcox
