The Loved Ones


Denial:

You don't want to admit it to yourself

You don't want to succumb to the pain,

To what lays ahead

Anger:

You've come to terms with the fact that

They aren't coming back

And you take it out

On everyone around you

Bargaining:

You've started begging to the Higher Power

To bring them back

You say

You'll do anything

To bring them back

You mean it

Depression:

You've fallen into the deep end

You wish you were dead

Just so you could see them again

Acceptance:

You're climbing from the pit

You're happy(ish)

But you haven't forgotten

About them
