Stone Eyes

by hidden_eyeballs

Summary:

I'm actually submitting this to a contest, I wrote it in like 30 minutes

the theme was "through their eyes"

And because I've realized ghosts are my favorite trope it's about a gravestone.

Unseen, ignored
Watching In silence as the world moves on
Not even a glance is spared.

The text on my face is no longer legible,
The name is lost to time.

My neighbor gets a visit,
Flowers bloom in their lap.

I don't get visits anymore,
Alone yet surrounded by others
We sit and wait to be acknowledged

Wait for the day that flowers will adorn our laps
Wait for someone to breathe a name long forgotten
Wait for the gentle words of no one in particular

Notes:

I was really happy with it but now the more I read it I'm starting to hate it.

It's too late now lol
