i. denial you aren’t gone, no. you’re going to come back to me. you’re going to come back. ii. anger you promised you’d try; but the second things got hard, you didn't look back. iii. bargaining its not over yet. we aren't unfixable. we’ve come too far now. iv. depression i wasn’t enough. you told me you’d always stay. you’re not coming back. v. acceptance you were my first love, the first to truly love me; you won’t be the last. pc

the 5 stages of grief as haiku

i just realized that i only counted "going" as one syllable when it should have been counted as two, but other than that, these should all follow the haiku 5x7x5 rule
