Stage Five
When a relationship ends
There are five stages of grief.
Once you go through them
Your heart will find relief.
So please listen to what
I had to go through.
Maybe it'll help you
If you go through this too.
The first stage was
"Disbelief & Shock"
That's when the pain starts
& you want it to stop.
The second stage is "Denial"
This is the most difficult one.
Because you don't want to believe
That your relationship is done.
The third stage is "Anger"
This one messes with your heart.
You'll want to lash out at the world
Because your heart's torn all apart.
The four stage is "Depression"
This stage is really bad
You'll go through so many emotions
But mostly you're very mad or sad.
You'd start healing after this stage
Of course.
You'd be sad that it's over
& dread the end or divorce.
The fifth stage is
"Acceptance & Hope"
You'll see the light at the end of the tunnel
& you'll be able to cope.
You'll begin to cope
& live with the fact
That your relationship is over
& they're not coming back.
I went through these things
& I feel a little better.
I want to live again
I need to get it together.
I just hope now
That peace will find me.
So I could put all of this craziness
Behind me.
I do wish her well
& I Love Her still.
But I gotta get myself together
Because I know it's God's will.
Stage Five puts me in a better place
I hope it gives me the peace for what I strive.
Now I'm ready to live again
I want to be alive.
