First you'll deny
you can't imagine why
it’s just too hard to believe
why would they ever leave
Then anger hits
its not fair, is it
you play the if only game
then try to find someone to blame
You try to bargain to no avail
you can’t change it, you'll fail
you plead and you pray
but there is nothing you can say
you go into the darkest place
no light so you can’t face
the pain of loss so hard to bare
why is life so unfair
sometimes you’re angry and you despair
sometimes you pray because you care
sometimes depression smothers you
and there is nothing you can do
it takes a while
one day you may smile
you accept that its all changed
your life gradually rearranged
your heart still aches
a memory awakes
bitter sweet and deeply sad
you miss what you once had
