There was a period when I struggled with my grief,
A period of time when I couldn't find release,
A period when I denied it was over,
Then came a period when I couldn't find closure,
A period came when I didn't have a friend,
Then a dark period when I almost decided to end it,
A hanging period at the noose of a twisted rope,
A period when I finally found a way to cope,
After a period when I totally came unglued,
Before a period when I finally said "I'm through..."
