Friendly fire isn't.

[ambitious_wench]

Your sense of humor
is painful to me.

I am not sure if you
aimed at me
with sharpened words
but you hit the mark
dead on.

I wonder if knowing this
will make you stop and think about
the effects your words have
on those who admire and respect you

or if your heart will soar
with a hunter's pride
at bringing down the target.
In either case,
I still hurt.

(No, nobody here. Don't worry.)
