Dead Pet Denial

The 5 Stages of grief Step 1 Denial surely that couldn't have been me That just reversed over and killed you my Boomer Step 2 Deny as I may did I just hear my 10 year old Niece actually say Sorry Uncky Chris the Vet has had to put him down Step 3 Everyone trying to make me feel better Saying at least it was you Can you imagine if it was someone else who did it ? Step 4 NO ! How in any way would that make me feel better I just killed the only thing in this life I actually LOVED Above myself, Above Anything I would rather have killed Myself Step 5 Dear Heart You are dead to me For you have taken all I hold dear and worthy to me And you ask of me Denial ? I choose neither to deny or fieign Denial For my part and what i have done I have to live with this And so I should No Denial nothing to deny here Just guilt and a broken heart On behalf of my part But that won't make me whole again Or bring you back to express just how sorry I am my 1 true friend The only thing I can't deny Or am in Denial of Is just how much I loved you And what you meant to me Rest in Peace My furry 4 legged friend I miss you more than you will ever know
