I clung to her like a disease,
struggling to tighten my grip.

I could feel my arms straining,
but I wasn't going to give up easily.

My muscles began to tear,
I was ready to sacrifice myself for her.

I screamed out in pain,
Nobody, not even she, was listening.

My eyes closed, I shut myself off.
I felt the hard of the concrete beneath me turn soft.

It was then that I realised,
I had been a double amputee for the last 2 miles.
