"Gone?"

Gone?

I lost a thing the other day
While going about my routine
It was of some import to me
I wonder, what could it have been?

It slipped my grasp and slid away
Or did I let it go?
A vague remembrance of something...
...I know I had once long ago

All I have are these myriad scars
No memory of cause, no pain to tell...
...Of why these lesions run so deep
New numbness I know too well

There was a reason, there was a rhyme
A raison d'être, a joie de vivre
There was a time that I could feel
Alas, no more. No more.
