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 fault220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmA1EnbWIYx

That you're gone

It's your fault

220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWeWqSbpfT

Stage 3: Bargaining

Please come back220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwx1M9qwEt

I'll do anything

I'll take your place

Just come back to me

220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfcewk8FZz

Stage 4: Depression

I didn't mean it

It's my fault

I love you

And it's my fault

220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQexGnWwxax

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 grief220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUrJOpx3Wc

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

220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypCRKqLMks

Stage 8: Give Up

Stage 9: Lose Hope

Stage 10: Move On (I guess)

Stage 11: Try To Forget

220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWySL2WSBPa

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

220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYhkhbp2Rx

Stage 13: You

Against my lips

On my breath

Like a whisper of flesh

And I'm gone

220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGW1bZpkNk

Gone

With220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWRtY27vHN
