Suicide Note

A missing woman left her husband with a note...

Please, don't cry over me.
live your life.
Don't be sad
find your bride
your "meant to be".
I will be with you
now and forever
Always. And that's true...
this wasn't drugs, medicine, or my mood.
It wasn't a last minute decision
or a petty way to prove you wrong.
See, this is where I belong.
Away from the pain,
the anger
the past
the rain.
Hey, remember when we met?
how I looked at you?
our first date?
The first time I kissed you?
oh- the first time we made love...
When we said "I do"
Remember when our child was born?
when we were so worn?
the many times you showed your love?
Please forgive me...
this is all I can ask.
I can only hope one day you see.
How much you mean to me
just how much I wanted our family...
not the best way to show it, I know.
but...think about the snow.
the beach.
The arguments we had.
our many breaches
We go through time and time...
listening and granting in kind.
I really wish you could have been mine.
Please...remember me...
My sad attempts to cook
to be the woman you wanted
to take care of our home.
to make this work...
to be a wife.
I will never forget you.
your pride
ambition
determination
you always put yourself aside
Now its my turn
I am so sorry.
for the arguments
the problems
the needless worry
I can only hope that you and baby forgive me...
we like to read poetry before bed.
its good foe his rest
humor us if you will,
and read to him for a while still.
he likes to play in the bath
and to make you his match.
What a smart cookie he is
best to outsmart his wits
please...tell him how much his mother loved him...
that she never left.
I love you both so much.
I know you will find happiness...
true love.
my heart will always be yours.

the ones left behind feel it the worst, by far...left to carry on with all the questions, the pain.
like a book left open to a page...unread, unfinished.

Too true...
