i will never understand<br /> why you held me<br /> if you were afraid of warmth<br /> <br /> you should have known<br /> i was fire<br /> <br /> - Rupi Kaur , the sun and her flowers


“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”
