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
