Amputation (Repost for Contest)

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

OHHHHHH, Karla, I love this one, the start I actually thought it was about an amputation of a severed limb or like that then for you to change it to be dealing with the loss of a loved person in your life, wow, I like this one alot, I have to keep this and show it to Rene'.
Peace, and Love, Ed & Rufuz

(((Karla)))

This is one of your best; can definitely agree with Labelle Rouge on this one! This one should win the next contest; this is powerfully written and makes the reader feel intense emotions! You convey your emotions so well; your poetry just keeps on getting better and better!!! BRAVA!!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your twin, Karen Lynn. :D
