Phantom Pain

I still feel this phantom pain;
The burn of yesterday behind closed eyes.
I still feel his thoughts, insane,
His blood covered shouts and cries.

I flick my wrist,
My fist, I clench.
I feel my touch,
And tendons twist.

I still feel this phantom pain;
This searing heat upon my mind.
I still feel this blight, this stain,
For mistakes, paid back in kind.

I move my arm,
Extend my hand.
I feel my skin,
Yet, understand.

I still feel this phantom pain.
