No more
She's no more you know
that little girl
with the weak smile
that curly hair wave
held up by mousse
brave blue eyes
no more
that teenage girl
who drove too fast
held your hand
while driving
whereever
for hours
such small hands
tentative hands
no more
that young woman
wearing sequins
not wearing sequins
flushed flesh
an hour or so
such a short time
a memory
no more
the one you could tell your secrets to
the one you wanted to know about
everyday
the one you depended on
the one you ....
she's no more
"there's no one here with that name"
not anymore
