If something is very expensive
people say it costs
an arm and a leg.
Gas,
books,
education,
homes,
and whatever else.
It is
an overused expression.
The true worth
of an arm and a leg
hours and hours
of endless pain.
A domino effect
causing years of problems.
A disfigured thing
that was supposed to be human
and the soul of someone dear.
It is nothing more
it is nothing less
and it is
nonrefundable.
