It falls, My heart falls dropping through the place where my stomach used to be, for it too has fallen away. Out of me. I feel empty, wishing for weightlessness, to float up and away from this now shell of me. Yet stuck firmly on the ground stuck by the sadness that fills my empty abdomen, sadness that nails me to the floor. Even without a heart you can still feel some things.

I am an upside down balloon tethered to a child's wrist
It falls, My heart falls dropping through the place where my stomach used to be, for it too has fallen away. Out of me. I feel empty, wishing for weightlessness, to float up and away from this now shell of me. Yet stuck firmly on the ground stuck by the sadness that fills my empty abdomen, sadness that nails me to the floor. Even without a heart you can still feel some things.
