What do you think this poem is about?

A Betrayed Tree

Dance,
these boughs and branches
sway,
revelry at the midday,
sun,
hates me and hides behind
the rain
love I have, I grow is in vain
but my leaves,
my bark are still strong enough to live
so me dance,
a heartbreak to fight against
dance,
my bending boughs and branches,
dance,
on my own roots, I can still stand..

    Dear Poet, before commenting on this work i had felt it was necessary to check the age of the writer.I think if this piece was written by a vetern would have a different sense.For now my comment is: -
    'The poem bears the message never loose your heart and fight till the last ray of hope exists '
