Militant Limb

Why do you let this me live
with this militant limb battling
the life out of me?
You won't let me cut it off
and you won't let it heal.
I can only grimace at her hideous sight.
Sometimes she will detach herself
but always she will return
to taunt me again like an iron-on
stuck to my skin.
