What Is This That I Feel

They tell me what I was experiencing was shock
For I couldn't  believe this was real
The pain hurt so bad I wished I lacked the ability to feel

From shock to anger the switched happened so fast 
But I found myself embracing this mask 
For I desperately wanted to bring back the past 

When anger didn't relieve the pain I found myself calling out God's name
I promise I'll live right if you just let things go back to the same 
They say this phase is known as the plea for the great exchange 

When you finally realize the miracle won't happen 
It leads you to the phase where your heart becomes blackened 
Better known as depression because your always saddened 

The final phase is acceptance with time 
It's the only thing that brings peace of mind 
Perhaps the safest refuge that you will find

What is this that I feel in which I desperately seek relief?
They say this is what happens when you loose a loved one and it's known as the five stages of grief
