Perish

This poem is rich in figurative speech. 'Dying hope and Thriving despair' are examples of oxymoron. 'I wish' is a refrain which recurs in the poem. 'Oh Lady! I wish you live a real day to know that you never existed' is an example of antithesis. This poem is an apostrophe as it addresses the readers. Apart from the figurative meaning, this poem has deep meditation of pain and need to understand the situation.
