Bargain

Denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance...

The five stages of grief;

It's been a year now and still I've no relief.

I'm still in denial; you did not die.

I still can't accept it, even though I try.

I've tried bargaining,

But the anger is always there;

Depression is my friend,

I pretend not to care.

Acceptance is for fools;

I have no bargaining to spare.

I can't deny my anger,

When acceptance is never there.
