Phantom Limb

This gravity drags me down to the ground

Every kiss tastes like shutting down

Your touch, it pulls like undertow

I sink beneath it, soft and slow

You're a phantom limb I'm still trying to feel

A ghost of a wound that never learned to heal

You're the echo in the silence when the world fades out

A scar shaped like you I can't live without

Your name's still carved beneath my skin

The ache that echoes from within

I try to leave but I can't let go

The wound's the only thing I know

I built my cage out of your breath

Called it love while it smelled like death

A loop that feeds the phantom flame

I burned it once… it rose the same

I chase the silence just to hear your name

A shadow stitched into my shame…

You're a phantom limb I still try to feel

A ghost of a wound that refuses to heal

You're the echo in the silence when the lights burn out

A scar shaped like you I can't live without

And I don't want to
