Whether it be a bad or good emotion is all that matters to know our heart is still alive. When a tragedy happens, we often blame ourselves when in reality we are the victim. I guess our brains are wired to not blame others when it is truly needed or sometimes we never blame ourselves when it is our fault, it is a two way street. In this poem it seems like this person at first feels a little bit of guilt and shame for getting hurt, but then knowing her heart is still alive, wants revenge for what happened to them. To use this in metaphor works well. You have dark intentions with clever "karmatic" responses. You feel as if karma will get to this person sooner or later. Great write to express how you feel in ties to an event after the fact.

Wow! Really strong stuff, Saff!

Well written and very much to the point!

Just give the dagger another few twists from me!!
