Grieve

Thirty-nine and thirty-eight… Let me get this straight. Thirty-seven and thirty-six… How can I be in this fix? Thirty-five and thirty-four… Are you sure there is no more? Thirty-three and thirty-two… What can I do? Thirty-one and thirty… Now I'm getting shirty! Twenty-nine and twenty-eight… I don't accept this fate! Twenty-seven and twenty-six… I refuse to be in this fix! Twenty-five and twenty-four… I’ll settle this score. Twenty-three and twenty-two… What's my life worth to you? Twenty-one and twenty… If it's money, I've got plenty. Nineteen and eighteen… I demand to stay on the scene! Seventeen and sixteen… C'mon! On a deal, I’m keen. Fifteen and fourteen… Your stubbornness is obscene. Thirteen and twelve… I’ve negotiations to shelve. Eleven and ten… I guess I'll just give in. Nine and eight… It's getting late. Seven and six… This, I can't fix. Five and four… There is no more. Three and two… I love you. One and done.

Yes, it is much to go through Darlene De Beaulieu. They say there are five to seven steps in the grieving process. I've written to only five. Thank you for visiting! hugs :)
