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.

Mistakes in Stone
I, fully convinced,
Blazed a trail through walls of stone.
I, wholly mindless,
Destroyed beauty and love.
My folly now etched in time
Blazed a trail through walls of stone.
I, wholly mindless,
Destroyed beauty and love.
My folly now etched in time

the question
standing in the
bathroom
looking in the
mirror
asked the question
"Where did it go?"
the answer came
came like bombs
falling on Berlin
under black and
white news clip
skies from 1944
time...
you old bastard,
you

Thru years of laughter, and even tears.
Thru all the pain and happy cheers!!
Thru bullshit fights, and cold cold shoulders.
To arguments cuz you acted older.
Sly remarks, and evil eyes.
Yet choked back sobs from each goodbye.
Slamming doors, breaking glass..
Funny jokes and smoking grass.
Talking shit, fights and screams..
To hanging out and sharing dreams.
Thru childhood trauma, we got got thru somehow ..
We stuck together, at least until now,
It shouldn't matter the mood were in..
Tomorrow will come and we can try...

Where is 964?
If I melt these metal cuffs
and put them in your mouth ...
...you'll visit Hell!
Raw wheat... raw rice and raw eggs...
...make them rot away...
By putting them in your mouth.

Pain Evermore
Inflated lies keep me on edge.
Tender in her promise to let me down without justification.
Sweet fragrance mixed with wine talk are enough to keep me ignorant.
If I don't leave soon I might not live to regret it.

I should have said:
Take your time,
think it through carefully
then do & say what you most need
I trust you
I care about you
I know you’ll find a way through…
Always know that
Whenever, however, wherever
You may need me
I’m here for you
My heart is with you
As you go through this
I’ll always care
& want what is best for you”
I’m sorry
for being selfish
When you needed
Understanding
think it through carefully
then do & say what you most need
I trust you
I care about you
I know you’ll find a way through…
Always know that
Whenever, however, wherever
You may need me
I’m here for you
My heart is with you
As you go through this
I’ll always care
& want what is best for you”
I’m sorry
for being selfish
When you needed
Understanding

Silent
The sea is silent, tonight. Of course
the sky is silent, still
stars beyond a cloudy smear. Yesterday
I saw a pinprick sailing by, too fast
for a plane, too steady
to be a shooting star — a true astro nauta.
Lyrical stars, searing heat, thinned
by cold distance, twisting rulers
and clocks. Cold
distance.
The mind is not such a quiet place.
It's machinations pin my body to the board of my bed, like —
a brimstone butterfly, pinned into its case,
a summer ghost dreaming
of poppy peppered wheat fields....

Rant …..
There are two of you
And you have done so much manipulating and convincing that the other side of you does not exist .. that even you believe the entire shit show of a lie
Like a grenade ,
Pin just pulled
you destroy everything within arms reach
Confronting that side of you
questioning your actions is a suicide mission
It’s just easier to play along with you
Seeking out the truth just adds more bullshit about you
That I have to lie to myself and hide
Instead of engaging during one of your meltdowns
I sat in the passenger seat...

Cleaning Out Some Cobwebs
Fervent belief of my kindness
holding steadfast in graciousness
Respectful and honest humility
an impassioned sense of empathy
Benevolence for all those that weep
unabashed compassion for all who seek
---
Me alone with rose tinted glasses
but only an actress to fool the masses
---
Utterly blind to my defects
delusional disease, unseen effects
Sickly disposition, made me a liar
endless intoxication, my selfish desire
Fabricated stories, told straight to face
deny always,...

In Whispered Time
Who we once where echos in whispered time
Reflections second guessing who we are
After all, knowing of mountains we climb
Each sanctuary on summits afar
Of regrets contemplated in the dark
Our shadows searching for daylight to find
Solus seeking solas when thoughts embark
Gray painted memories color the mind
Does love betray, or do We just grow old?
This introspective canvas of hindsight
Indifference is heart felt as we fold
Clarity of darkness becomes contrite
Can the...
