This may hurt you more than it hurts me

Ever heard that phrase?? 

Of course it will hurt me more, it probably did not hurt at all to commit the inane act that resulted in broken promises and disloyalty. In fact, nothing hurt at all... tears did not fall, shrieks of forgiveness were not heard, and a conscience must have died. Why would someone even consider starting bad news with that phrase?? This may hurt you... how about "This will hurt..."
True enough and plainly stated. 

I doubt the pleasurable moments would entail pain. People rarely consider consequences. 
I never wrote a poem that said this may hurt you... the reason I wrote it in the first place was because I was hurt.
