poet Deependra Kumar Jha
What do you think this poem is about?

Love, life and death

In the mystical dark despair
Tight lips in a frozen prayer
Upset for what happened unfair
I saw her in a state rare

'What’s the problem? ' I urged to share
She screamed ‘it’s none of your affair’
In the moment beyond compare
I tried to unfold the hidden layer

'He broke my heart' she did stare
I want to die, but does he care?
He looks so peaceful lying there
But doesn’t realize my pain bare

I said 'living here is a difficult dare'
But, committing suicide is a selfish fare
Love and happiness are seldom in pair
No one gets everything in life, beware

    Life is a journey we all have to follow, at times the path is easy, but it can get very difficult as well. How we deal with the difficulties is the test life gives to us. If we overcome them the path can get easier still. Your friends act was selfish, but compassion must be shown for his deep unhappiness. A well written poem keep it up.
