Like a Limb

I stubbed out all the

Feelings that I had for you

Like a cigarette.

Crush out the fire,

the heat glowing

In the embers

Until they were cold and grey



I don't think it can be relit.

I don't think I can ever feel

the same way about you

As I did then.



Is love something

We can replant,

Something we can regrow,

Start over with anew?



Or is love more like

A lost limb

A thing that, once cut off

Never grows back

Only leaving an absence,

a wound, that eventually

Scars over?

I just don't know.
