The Miss

The Miss

I’ll miss you,
  A Truth, I’ve always missed you.
     An opening act, blurred by time and a feeble mind
	Hugs, homework, and the happiest place on earth
		I miss your true smile

Then, the split,

   a beginning, 
 	An arduous odyssey filled with glimpses and occasions
		Apartments, husbands, and cars.
			I miss your back tickles
			
Then he came.
        A chance, Appointed queen of the mountain in her castle grand.
	Farms, mansions, corn, wine, ski trips, restaurants, drugs, and more cars
I miss your freedom
       Then it came
		A sentence,
			A growth, a blackness at an incurable stage
				Hospitals, pills, tears, regrets, love, death
					I miss how proud you were.
