I want to be buried Next to the unmarked grave In my town's small cemetery Next to the football stadium The grave that nobody notices The grave I sat beside So many times The grave I collected flowers for Not a beautiful bouquet Bought at a shop But fallen blossoms Pale and delicate That littered the ground Beneath the flowering trees I wiped away the moss And the wind caked dirt To reveal the slab of stone The grave that only read Unnamed

Unmarked Grave
I want to be buried Next to the unmarked grave In my town's small cemetery Next to the football stadium The grave that nobody notices The grave I sat beside So many times The grave I collected flowers for Not a beautiful bouquet Bought at a shop But fallen blossoms Pale and delicate That littered the ground Beneath the flowering trees I wiped away the moss And the wind caked dirt To reveal the slab of stone The grave that only read Unnamed
It's an interesting one. I'm still not entirely sure why I do it in the first place.
