amputation (revised, reposted for contest)

comparing the ending of some relationships with that of life-altering surgery

like a field surgeon
neatly
quickly
severing a
diseased or shattered limb


you take no time at all
rapidly
abruptly
perform the operation
and cut me out of your life


with no anesthetic to deaden sensation


you throw me aside
removing
eliminating
until there is nothing left
nothing left of ME


and i am the one left feeling the phantom pain


(C) karla dorman, 2003
