we're broken

we fell off the bed today, broke a smile and fixed it with tape
you arrange left-over bottles into an odd-shaped heart
then say, 'if only mine were big like that'
i think, 'mine is, and i love you, in a really big way
in a little girl's way'
i knock one over, you scream
and i was so afraid i had broken your heart
