no more of who she was

when
i met her, she was getting
a new hip,
then
new knees,
new breasts,
a new face.
by the end of the year
i didn't recognize
her.
her hair was blonde
now,
she was noticeably
thinner,
her eyebrows higher
above
her eyes.
her frown was gone,
no more
laugh
lines, sad lines, no more
of who she was.
i miss her
sometimes.
