Missing Limb
It was probably just lust
Nothing more
It turned into a bore
It was merely fragile feelings
I had finished my dealings
Just a trade
And soon the feelings would fade
I knew it
But my eyes were still lit
I had that common glow
And I knew it would all go
Away from my being
But I threw away seeing
And stayed in the background
I thought I had found
My other half
Always adoring his laugh
I was just lust sick
And the bombs began to tick
It was all in my head
And I knew I was better off dead
Than on the phone with him
He wasn’t my missing limb
He wasn’t mine
And I had crossed the line
Too many times to let go
I had become so low
I was on his level
No wonder he called himself the Devil
I have become so lost
I wish I would’ve known what it would cost
To give someone parts of you
I was gone too
From real love
And I thought he was above
Everything I had to give
I found no reason to live
Than without him
My so-called Missing Limb
