Oh, before the end? Before I got to the final stanza I thought she dumped him. I hope that helps. I think that's what you wanted. And I assumed this device was intentional.

Great, yes, I tried to not reveal that she was dead until the final line. Agreed, I already made most of those edits and did not worry about the syllable count.
