Content warning: poem touches upon thoughts of suicide

"
Today I came home to a note on the table... 
A stagnant white sheet, like a dizzy cloud 

And it said: 
"I've packed my bags, and I'm long gone. 
My car hit the road - and every mile I 
drive, is a mile further from you. You're
not all to blame; it just hasn't been the
same - so don't be too harsh on yourself,
K? Cause I know you're a bundle of fears
- you know your inadequacy like the 
back of the hands (you said you'd never 
beat me with) -  and I wonder if your tears 
are already trickling down, like the rain
on those silent Sundays, mundane." 

Looming overhead, before I go to bed 
There's a storming brewing like I ain't 
seen before And I look to the noose;
ask God if he's angry... well we'll 
certainly find that out very soon
