Poems About Regret
#regret
Poetry about regret and remorse. These poems about regret take us on a painful journey, exploring mistakes, missed opportunities and feelings of guilt for failing to act. We all have regrets in life, whether we actually did something wrong, or have guilty feelings for something which was out of our control.

Myopia
Side by side we walked throughout the days of our youth,
Never a secret we kept, never a thought left unsaid.
You were my closest confidant, and I was yours.
Our souls were both fragmented, but together we were almost whole.
The age of adolescence ended and we went down separate paths,
I followed the hallowed halls of academia, but you were stuck in the past.
Perhaps I knew, deep inside,
That you could never leave the ground where your father died
But I had faith that you would make it out one day,
How was I to know beside him in...
Never a secret we kept, never a thought left unsaid.
You were my closest confidant, and I was yours.
Our souls were both fragmented, but together we were almost whole.
The age of adolescence ended and we went down separate paths,
I followed the hallowed halls of academia, but you were stuck in the past.
Perhaps I knew, deep inside,
That you could never leave the ground where your father died
But I had faith that you would make it out one day,

Wide Open
It's a misty morning and I'm on the road
I'm flying by that lonely moment in my mind
When we said goodbye
I'm on my way to the grocery store
Where I bag groceries and it gets me by
Well, not the pay
Just keeps me occupied from the pain
I can see everything now
Like I'm high above the clouds
And you're about to make the same mistake I made
Can you please slow down
Not sure where I am but there's a road block ahead
Some worried eyes and someone screaming out
I'm sorry but the road is closed
There's fallen...
I'm flying by that lonely moment in my mind
When we said goodbye
I'm on my way to the grocery store
Where I bag groceries and it gets me by
Well, not the pay
Just keeps me occupied from the pain
I can see everything now
Like I'm high above the clouds
And you're about to make the same mistake I made
Can you please slow down
Not sure where I am but there's a road block ahead
Some worried eyes and someone screaming out
I'm sorry but the road is closed
There's fallen...

Litost

although
originating
from his own
lungs
eyes closed
swirls of rainbow
color
flood his vision
vague shapes
and formless clouds
drifting floating
in that state
of being

non being
his spirit
rises
hovering circling
above the corpus
observing
old man below
arthritic
desiccated
gnarled
by age
and regrets
engulfed

What If
I saw you on the number nine bus.
A winter’s night.
Snow in the air.
Trouble in your eyes.
You fought to disguise.
The fear you felt. The pain.
Contained in vain.
There were signs of your hurt.
Unkempt, a slight shake.
Lines upon a young face.
I tried to read your mind.
To see through, to reach the other side.
You stared right through me.
Oblivious to my concerns.
You lit a cigarette.
Away in a world far from that bus.
Somewhere mysterious.
Perhaps looking for a personal Jesus.
The silence...
A winter’s night.
Snow in the air.
Trouble in your eyes.
You fought to disguise.
The fear you felt. The pain.
Contained in vain.
There were signs of your hurt.
Unkempt, a slight shake.
Lines upon a young face.
I tried to read your mind.
To see through, to reach the other side.
You stared right through me.
Oblivious to my concerns.
You lit a cigarette.
Away in a world far from that bus.
Somewhere mysterious.
Perhaps looking for a personal Jesus.
The silence...

Dakota (Graveyard Shift)
Dead leaves stir within the vengeance and blood.
Emotions rush in, swaying, drowning in the flood.
Digging deeper scrambling for some kind of release.
Crow’s eye spies hidden amongst the dead trees.
The foggy moonlight compliments her pale white skin.
For this Halloween she will dress as a Skeleton.
Blood and vengeance stain the grave’s dead leaves.
Floods that drown, praying that no one will ever see.
Emotions rush in, swaying, drowning in the flood.
Digging deeper scrambling for some kind of release.
Crow’s eye spies hidden amongst the dead trees.
The foggy moonlight compliments her pale white skin.
For this Halloween she will dress as a Skeleton.
Blood and vengeance stain the grave’s dead leaves.
Floods that drown, praying that no one will ever see.

APPARENT
You drain yourself
With constant
Expectations of
Perfection
Don't kid yourself-
You were already dealt
The most perfect hand
You'll ever receive
With constant
Expectations of
Perfection
Don't kid yourself-
You were already dealt
The most perfect hand

Too Late Suicide
I slit both wrists
and pray to God I drain slowly.
feel every vein in me
pump blood out of my body.
No fight left in me,
No reason to be,
So this is my last story.
I sit here,
legs stretched out in front of me
thinking of what life should be.
I'll use this forum of DU Poetry
To leave a piece of me.
I feel okay,
Just numb around wrist and the thumb.
My hearts beating a little fast
but nothing to be alarmed.
I've tried and failed and failed and tried, failed again
I'm just tired.... ...

HAUNTED BY EMOTIONS
From moments comes experiences that we shall have to learn some lessons about life and our own self in heart and soul and mind, for it is those moments we are given an time to reflect upon our rights and wrongs that we've made along the way, during our journeys travels and walks through this cycle known as life. From moments comes feelings of mix emotions, sometimes created by a broken heart cause by someone that we though understood where does real love comes from as it is within the soul of the heart. But we gave too much of thyself thinking if we give all of thyself they would change, but...

Declined
You, those jagged teeth
I, these yellowed biters
You, that sleeping optic
I, this bloodshot eye
You, your scented fabric
I, my spray kissed threads
You, a bottled universe
I, a fucked up head
You, and all your drawbacks
I, with all of mine
You, a timely call back
I, my quick decline
I, these yellowed biters
You, that sleeping optic
I, this bloodshot eye
You, your scented fabric
I, my spray kissed threads
You, a bottled universe
I, a fucked up head
You, and all your drawbacks
I, with all of mine
You, a timely call back
I, my quick decline

THE YOU INSIDE OF YOU
Here I sit as I stare endlessly at very present of your beauty even if its only a mere picture of you in my mind, but as I stare into the deepness of your eyes that shine like stars off into the distance skies, I wonder as I ponder my silent thoughts. How many times have someone broken your heart and damage your beautiful soul, leaving you feeling worthless with a low self esteem for there own personal gains, but yet as I stare at your face how many tears have stain your cheeks with silent tears of hurt and pain. For how many days and nights have you cried yourself to sleep being alone and...

The same
making and collecting memories. another sunrise with untimely company,
who’s showing the way out ? and who’ s violently whispering ? that they might romance this chance to become my enemy (again) ?
no love, just a silent stair, no questioning ,just the relapse of pretending your capable to care,
and in the years to come, I’ll put myself right back into the same, and nothing of the real you will I have gained...... a rat infested vessel, that we call friend-ship set sail by
The mighty king of all headtrips....
