Bugbear

How large of a saw was used to cut us apart?
While our terribly considerate and un-blaming mother lies dead with her art
Separated but never equaled
A masterpiece just short of being fecal until I was chopped off

I live in this outhouse
I envy the cathedral that is your heart
That is your heart
The heart of my better half

We share a name
I share your song
We shared a lover
Now you don't share at all

And who could blame you for having that cloddish scar removed?
So your Siamese ghost won't spook the uncouth doppelganger on the loose

Until a day you employ a cane
You'll abhor me
You'll curse me
I'm the bugbear biting the earth where you had me buried

Making brothers from one youth
But I was the one removed
The inventor's promise to you never left the ground

I'm not your twin, I'm just the amputee
I'm not your twin, I'm just the amputee
I'm not your twin, I'm just the amputee
I'm not your twin, I'm just the amputee
I'm not your twin, I'm just the amputee
I'm not your twin, I'm just the amputee
I'm not your twin, I'm just the amputee
I'm not your twin, I'm just the amputee
I'm not your twin, I'm just the amputee
I'm not your twin, I'm just the amputee
I'm not your twin, I'm just the amputee
I'm not your twin, I'm just a bugbear
