Ten to Bliss

One Denial Deep breathe, walk tall, and suppress the tears Fake optimism, comfort others Two Strength Grab the hand, accept their leaving, and find the words Tell them its okay to go, no more suffering Three Realization Feel the warmth dissipate, light vanish, monitors sounding World darkens, longing for their voice begins Four the Blurr Sink to the floor, heart grows emptier, time stops Days vanish, hope impossible, depression bites your soul Five Watch it Change Kiss goodbye, casket lowered, flowers placed, Last words shared, memories haunting sleep, phone never to be answered Six Pain No more time, pack up reminders, stop speaking of them Look around for a sign, a piece of them, some sort of reassurance Find nothing Seven Questioning How could this happen, how could they give up, how can you let go Why them, why now, why god Are they proud, are they watching, are they safe Eight Enlightenment Live in their memory, find a positive, and grow inside See their fight, draw fortitude from darkness Nine Angels Find peace in their wings, feel the warmth around you Smile for the protector you have Ten Security Allow memories to return, heart to refill Loose the fear of forgetting Welcome their undying presence
