stages of grief

(Verse 1 - Denial) In the silence of the night, I search for your familiar faces, But the echoes of your laughter have vanished without traces. I tell myself it can't be true, that you'll walk through the door, But the emptiness consumes me, like never before. (Chorus) Denial grips my weary soul, refusing to let go, I'm drowning in this ocean of sorrow, with nowhere left to row. The pain is like a relentless tide, pulling me under, As I grapple with the reality, that I've lost my family's wonder. (Verse 2 - Anger) The flames of rage consume me, burning deep within, Why did fate choose to tear apart my kin? I scream into the void, cursing the heavens above, For taking away the ones I cherished and loved. (Chorus) Anger boils beneath my skin, a fire that won't subside, I'm lost in this storm of fury, with nowhere left to hide. I lash out at the world, for its cruel and unjust ways, As I wrestle with the anger, that haunts my darkest days. (Verse 3 - Bargaining) If only I could turn back time, rewrite the fates' cruel decree, I'd give anything to have you all back with me. I make deals with unseen forces, pleading for a chance, To undo the tragedy and reverse life's dance. (Chorus) Bargaining with fate's cruel hand, in hopes of finding peace, I'm grasping at straws in this desperate release. But no bargain can bring you back, no matter how hard I try, As I navigate this labyrinth of grief, beneath the endless sky. (Verse 4 - Depression) The weight of loss bears down on me, a burden hard to bear, I'm suffocating in this darkness, consumed by despair. The tears flow like rivers, carving paths down my face, As I wander through this landscape, devoid of solace or grace. (Chorus) Depression grips me in its hold, a shadow I can't shake, I'm trapped in this maze of sorrow, with every step I take. But amidst the pain and sorrow, a glimmer of hope remains, As I slowly learn to navigate, through grief's relentless reign. devoid of solace or grace. (Chorus) Depression grips me in its hold, a shadow I can't shake, I'm trapped in this maze of sorrow, with every step I take. But amidst the pain and sorrow, a glimmer of hope remains, As I slowly learn to navigate, through grief's relentless reign. (Verse 5 - Acceptance) Through the tears and the pain, I've learned to find my way, To accept the truth and embrace the light of day. Though your absence leaves a void, I find solace in the memories we shared, Knowing that your love will always be with me, no matter where. (Chorus) Acceptance brings a newfound peace, a balm to soothe the soul, I'm learning to let go of grief's tight hold. Though the ache will linger on, in my heart you'll forever reside, As I journey forward, with love as my guide. I'm learning to let go of grief's tight hold. Though the ache will linger on, in my heart you'll forever reside, As I journey forward, with love as my guide. (Outro) Though the road ahead is long, and the wounds may never fully heal, I'll carry your memory in my heart, as I learn to cope and deal. For in the depths of grief, I find strength to carry on, And though you're gone, your love will guide me, until the break of dawn.
