You Broke My Feelings

when he was young
about four or five years old
my son once said
you broke my feelings
when I did something
that upset him
I tried to tell him
the proper phrase to use
was that I hurt his feelings
not that I broke his feelings
I went to great lengths to explain
how when someone does something
that upsets you the proper phrase
to use is you hurt my feelings
what I should have told him
was that I was sorry
