Sarah's Stages of Grief

At first there was denial,

because I didn’t want to accept

this was the end-

that all we went through, all that I

felt

was for nothing.

Then I tried to bargain.

Maybe, just maybe, if I had

A little more time

you would see things my way

and stay

and nothing would have gone to waste.

But when I realized that no matter

what I did

I could no longer reach you

I sank-

lower than I’ve ever been,

so low that I never thought I’d

see the light again.

It was then that I hated.

I hated so much

and in my head

I wished things that should never

be said

and only seething with anger could I

overcome the heartache,

because it’s easier to hate than

it is to love

and not have that feeling returned.

So farewell

I wish I would have never

known you

but since I do

you’ll have to accept that I

hate you.
