An Amputee
--------------

Some things you don't get over --
they're more like an amputation
you learn to live with

And so now in the month of April
I'm prepping you for theatre

But I don't believe in anaesthetic
-- I need you to feel this
as I remove myself from your life

It won't be a shock when I leave
-- I've been on a collision course
for years and years

And although from time to time
there may have been glimmers of hope
-- all that singing and dancing you saw
was how I eloquently circled the drain
