An Amputated Soul

He said, "Leave me alone.
Can’t you see I am a cripple now?
Go away, save yourself
a life of grief."

She said, "Only you could save me,
for if you force me to leave
I shall be the crippled one,
for there are no prosthetics
for an amputated soul."

"there are no prosthetics
for an amputated soul (spirit.)"

I borrowed this phrase from Al Pacino in a movie.
