Poems I Write When I'm Sad - Stages of Grief

Stage 1: Denial

You aren't gone

You're still mine

You're still here

You're just fine

Stage 2: Anger

I hate you

It's your fault359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxEqOiVt3Q

That you're gone

It's your fault

Please come back359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlbGXVcNxl

I'll do anything

I'll take your place

Just come back to me

Stage 4: Depression

I didn't mean it

It's my fault

I love you

And it's my fault

Stage 5: Acceptance

They say now I'm happy

They say I've moved on

And now I've accepted it

So why does this still feel like stage 1?

Stage 6: Repeat

There isn't any "end" to grief359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2p57COuZGg

I've never "accepted" it

I'll always miss you

But I'll always hide it

Stage 7: Loss

Seven times I've tried to join you

Seven times I've been stopped

Seven times I've been called selfish

For wanting to be with you

Stage 12: Nothing

I don't breathe, I don't move

Lying still in this pool

Made of crimson from my wrists

And I vaguely hear something

Stage 13: You

Against my lips

On my breath

Like a whisper of flesh

And I'm gone
