Blood-stained sheets of paper littered the floor, like the mind of a depressed author. And you picked one up, looked me in the eyes and said this is a dead man's idea of good-bye, where you got them, I didn't know, but I listened to the way your voice softened as you read and sang and wallowed. I'm sorry it had to come to this you read, I just don't think I belong here anymore. There's this empty hole in my chest where I loved you once before. And baby, don't cry, you did everything you could, but sometimes everything just isn't enough. You never said who the author was and I think that meant a lot. I remember the night you serenaded me with lines from suicide notes, and I remember how it was not until the end that I realized it had been yours.
