You There

You there!
Did you know?
Did you see?

You . . . the one
Who tipped my glass
And let it fall to shatter to pieces

Did you know . . .
That to shatter a window
Would lead to chains and bars

Did you see . . .
The full moon as it watched
As it shed a tear for a broken soul

Did you care . . .
As you made a choice
To steal away into the night

You . . . the one
Who took from a child
The doll she so loved

You there!
Did you know?
Did you care?
