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 fault203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11W4DCvsC4

That you're gone

It's your fault

203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8o7o4fg3o

Stage 3: Bargaining

Please come back203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EHr53AcYB

I'll do anything

I'll take your place

Just come back to me

203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQkuCmo4RM

Stage 4: Depression

I didn't mean it

It's my fault

I love you

And it's my fault

203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwKeFQNNUP

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 grief203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtd1dNbHN3A

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 8: Give Up

Stage 9: Lose Hope

Stage 10: Move On (I guess)

Stage 11: Try To Forget

203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo20oAuUfE3

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

203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIH2XV6NFl

Stage 13: You

Against my lips

On my breath

Like a whisper of flesh

And I'm gone
