Did You Consider

When you killed my heart Did you stop to consider I only have one? When you stabbed my heart Got drenched in the blood of love Did your conscience bleed? When you washed your hands Did my glassy expression Leave you feeling cold? When you sleep at night Does my memory haunt you In a blaze of light? When you broke my heart DID YOU STOP TO CONSIDER Without it, I’ll die? Eileen Manassian Ghali

Thank you all for your lovely comments...I'm so sorry that I haven't answered you individually. I'm not in a very good place lately so...I find it hard to find the words to say....Having said that, I do want you to know that I appreciate your sincere and heart felt posts on this poem. Know that I do read and appreciate them all!
