It was as though her whole soul
flowed onto that page.

except for the door,
full length mirror shattered,

The tub was pretty basic,
nearly filled to over flowing.
Too tired to pull her body out,
I had no way of knowing.
And then there was the note
laying soggy on the floor.
It said the simplest thing of all:
I just don't want to live any more.
