Missing Her

don't we all?

Missing her—

Missing the little girl

Folded inside of me

Like Matryoshka dolls

Who befriended

Anyone wearing a matching dress

Who was innocent enough

To trust anyone with a lolly–pop

Missing her—

Missing the little girl

To who pain

Was a skinned knee

And tears

Was nothing but a wetness

For a brief moment

Missing her—

The golden-haired girl

With a sunhat and sunglasses

Picking flowers

Missing her—

Missing the little girl

Who once was

But grew up
