Blind Regret

The older I get the more regret I have not being there for you at that vulnerable time. You made me so happy but I was not there to be with you... at a time when you Hurt. I thought our love would transcend the pain of commuter weekends with you. How wrong can a person be? The nights you spent alone must have been torture. Yet, I was blind... pillowed tears, soft sobs, Yours. If I could change one thing in my life, it would only be at that time. You should have come before me, I should have loved more. I should have been there. Time heals all wounds, But, regrets... remain Still.

Thanks for your explanation, DAniel! You've been married to your second wife, the same amount of time I've been with my husband, since I was 19!

So much tenderness and regret in this creatively crafted nonet series, Daniel. These are the types of regrets with which many people live -- the "if onlys" in our lives. Since we can't change the past, we can only try to use what we have learned to improve our chances for happiness in the future. Best wishes in the contest with this touching poem. Love, Carolyn

emotionally eloquent and used the structure of the poem to enchance your work rather than fit around it..well done
