"Paradise Lost"
I went through
The book that I borrowed
from a friend
long time ago.
I saw a letter
hidden between pages
one hundred and three
and one hundred and four.
It was a love letter
from my friend to her lover
asking him to come get her
before she gets married off
to the boy next door;
who tricked her father
to give consent
when he was totally drunk .
I remember the day
she was buried in the St.Peters.
All present there
were full of questions
that only I have
the answers to, now.
A paradise lost in another
"Paradise lost", for words unsaid.

I wish I can read that letter because it would be like reading the background of your poem, an excellent one.If you were a female then you are really strong for not letting the cat out.Don't laugh at me , I usually live the poem.

Thanks Maj and the sweet desert for reading and commenting.
Well, I thought the idea was evident and I think I'm mistaken. The contents of the letter are given in brief in the poem and the reason for her death is hinted at in the last line ('words unsaid').As her letter didn't reach her lover and she was forced to marry someone, she committed suicide.
