she pulled the plug

she tells me that she pulled the plug
on him.
as if their relationship was a tub
of water.
cold water now.
done, over. kaput.
so she pulled the plug and watched
whatever it was
drain out,
swirl to where all love goes
when it's over,
and all that's left
is a bar of soap, turned
to a sliver,
no doubt.
