Amputations
Blood flowing, tourniquet
Eyes closed, and you wept
Blade through bone
And then we knew
It was all that we could do
Blood slowing, cauterize
Bandages to heal you
Time and space to replace
Like ghosts, we two
We did all that we could do
We did everything we could have done
Didn't we?
We tried everything we could
And we still failed
We did everything we could do
