Phantom Pains

You're the phantom pains

The ache that won't go away

Never had you so how did I lose you?

I already felt you before I even knew you

I know it's just the remnants

I'm only feeling hand prints

Of your past aggressions

I'm just playing with your shadow

You're the phantom limbs

A ghost hanging off of my skin

I could reach out and touch you I swear

But you're not really there

You're the legs hurt

When they aren't there at all

You're the broken bones

And the bleeding nose

Just the marks of a ghost

I know you're just my phantom pains

You're the ache that won't go away

And we'll never be close enough to know

What a waste
