"Sylvia's Death" by Anne Sexton

I find this poem to be some what disturbing because of the reflection it had to Sylvia Plath's life. I know that Sylvia Plath and Anne Sexton were friends but it seems that it was a dark connection that brought the two together. This is shown in the line "the death we both said we out grew". I know from reading more into their lives both women were suicidal and both had attempted to commit suicide. The line "with two children, two meteors wandering loose in the tiny playroom" is quite sad. I feel that Anne hadn't came to any reasoning to why Sylvia would want to abandon her children and I ask the same question. Being a mom is a very rewarding experience and I would think that someone who has children would want to experience a long life so they can watch them grow. I would think that this could be something Sylvia could find enjoyment in. Apparently the happiness that children bring mother's in this world may have been lacking in her situation. It's all so depressing.
