Here Lies

Laying my hurt pieces to rest.

WARNING: I typically leave interpretation entirely to the reader, but due to the content and nature of this poem I’d like to clarify my intent. This is me burying the old, hurt pieces of my past so I may continue on without them. Roxy’s epitaph has yet to be written. Thank you for sharing this moment with me.

Consumed by lichen and time,

Her gravestone collection will disappear.

.

Only for her spirit and fire to remain,

Sanctified in the hearts of the ones she loved.
