"tombstone"

I’ve been skipping moments for centuries

Leaving gaps between my memories

Never looking back at the ghost it has made of me

But soon

I will be buried under cement

Perished and forgotten

Reduced to family photos

And no one will care how I cried

Or what I dreamed

My tombstone will read “Here lies Stephanie….

whatever that even means”
