Stages of Grief

Folder: 
Dedications

Yesterday was anger-

I hated you

for hurting me.

 

All I could think about

was how you were

a perverted piece of shit.

 

Today is denial

as I come to grips

with this lack of you.

 

This hole in my life

that you consumed 

for so long.

 

Then the sadness hits me

as I read through 

our conversations.

 

Your humanity 

shined through

although I didn't notice.

 

You were a mystery to me,

an enigma I never understood.

 

But looking back now I see

you were there for me when

I had no one else to turn to.

 

You held my hand 

during some of 

my hardest times.

 

One day I hope 

that I can accept it

for what it was,

for its beauty and its mess.

 

I yearn to look back on

our season together

with fondness and thankfulness.
