8 Letters

“I like you.”
If I felt my heart drop-
felt it plummet-
collapse through muscle and ribs,
bones and tendons.
Thud lifelessly against the glass floor
and crack that shiny clear surface in two as if
it meant something,
as if after hearing those words I ever had a heart,
as if I ever felt the weight of it
Its steady beat behind my lungs
might as well have
ceased
because I told you
“I love you”
