Spare Parts

A reservation, a set aside 
An extra part, I'm called a spare part 
Who fulfills something empty 
Who fulfills something lost.  

Others like me are fortunate 
They're not a reservation anymore 
Unlike me who's fate is starred 
Forever I am a spare part.  

So I call on my fellow spare parts  
To meet and greet 
Doesn't mean we're an extra 
We can't create what they just did.
