How Had I Forgotten?

How pleasant it is to feel again

or how pleasant I thought it would be.

I remember a soft hand in mine

and the fuzzy feelings of grass on my feet.

I didn't remember the shocks up my legs

with each labored step I'd take.

I didn't think of the aching each time I take a breath

and all this misery each moment I'm awake.

I never thought I'd feel again

but now I wish I didn't

because all I feel is this shooting, piercing.

I was numb to it before, how had I forgotten?
