LostGone

Often when I lose
something I think about 
where I might’ve left 
it not really considering 
it lost rather misplaced 
after remembering I do
return to where I’d 
abandoned it confident that 
there I’d find it 
Sometimes it is there
oftentimes it is not 
Unlike most people I 
halt my search then 
accepting that what’s lost 
is gone and belongs 
to someone or someplace 
else no longer mine 
I guess what I’m
trying to say is 
please don’t come back 
to me my love 
stay where you are 
there amongst the lost
once gone is enough
