Gone Missing

Did it slip off 
My pocket or
Jumped out of
My wallet.

Did someone
Steal it or
It has gone in
Hiding.

I've searched
Everywhere.

Ransacked my
Room and 
Grazed up my
Insides. 

In my home,
Around the village.
Under the ground
And over the clouds.

I don't know who
Stole my smile..

Maybe the hefty 
Loan in the bank or 
This abject pain in
My intestine. 

Tired, I reached
My home.
Wife opened the door.
And now I know.
