GRIEF

I have stopped
Searching
I have quietened down
Accepting
I may
Never hear from you
Again

In these months
I have fulfilled on
Everything I had
Set in motion
When I thought
There was a future
With you

It is such an
Accomplishment
But seemingly
Pointless
Leaving me Empty
Without you
To share it with

The world turns
Upside down
I watch
As fear runs rampant
And all I can summon
Is a dull, numb
Detachment

Disbelief
Denial
Guilt and pain
Bargaining
Anger
Depression
Acceptance

I wobble thru
The stages of grief
Out of order
In reverse
Back & forth
Waiting
For it to settle
