The grieving widow
Facing the stone tablet
Reading the inscription through tears...
'Here he lies; and it's your fault he's dead'
Seems like she's staring into a mirror...

Picture Prompt: Option E (click on contest link to see)
Feels like sometimes...the gravesite is within...looking at yourself...blaming yourself for the downfall of someone...something like a metaphor...
Enjoy...good luck to others...

Sometimes we do have things reflected at us that make us pause and look deep at ourselves.! Excellent take

this was to me like wow, a deep look within oneself.. the guilty feeling jumps right off the page.. and literally slaps one in the face. like a reality check.
I love this poem, you did a fantastic job with the prompt.
good luck
