I'Ve Bargained and Accepted My Angry Denial Poem

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.

Luckily I haven’t been there...yet. I dread the day. I can’t imagine the suffering.
