Because...He was dead!

Because...He was dead!

A Poem by Bhavya Kaushik

BECAUSE… HE WAS DEAD !!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Blood was dropping from his wrist in vain,

Even the entire floor now turned to red.

Consciously he was facing that inevitable pain,

Addiction for love forced him close to death.

Unwritten was his destiny and dark was his fate,

Speechlessly he stood but he doesn't have any regret.

Echoes of his past but were asking him to wait!!!

 

 

He was just holding a razor blade in his hands,

Edge of which was cutting one of his blood veins.

 

 

Without soul, without words and now without life he laid,

Apologies or prayers now can't bring him back.

Suicide he had committed as by her, he was already declared dead!

 

 

Dead is he now and silently resting in his grave,

Even for whom he gave his life is living with no pain.

Alas! This is not the way true love should end,

Dark end of love like this may never happen with anyone again….

Author's Note

Bhavya Kaushik
Well..this writing basically focuses on teenage suicides...Suicide is the third leading cause of death in people between the ages of 15 and 20 after motor vehicle accidents and homicides... And heartache is I guess one of the leading factor behind that! So....here it is.....!
Often I've heard people saying that "Suicide is my way to tell god that you can't fire me...coz' I myself quit"
No! It isn't like that....we only have one life to live and thus only life to love! so...be what you are and if you gets a breakup! then...move ahead, this is what life is all about..

okay! I can talk the entire day about it! :D :D

Bhavya! OH MY!
This is astoundingly creative,
and tragic!
A horrific view at the result
of some's heartbreak which they
don't believe they can continue to
endure.

I have seen this happen first hand
within my own family walls and it
is as real as you have painted it
here with your words.

We need to understand, the other
person will continue on, yet a life
was wasted. If they would just hang
on to hope a little longer.... never
give up. Ever. Such sadness... tragedy :(


You have incredible talent my friend.... !
Excellent writing!

This is a tragic, dark poem. It is sad that people will end their lives
because of love, and love shall take no prisoners if one isn't strong
enough.

In this stanza: Edge of which was cutting one of his blood veins.

The end where it says cutting one of his blood veins, that doesn't seem
to fit with the flow of the poem, taking away from it. AD
