Regrets

A time of sadness and despair As memories linger in my mind Those days of laughter come back again Sounds familiar to my ears As I sit, in silence, in the dark Spoken words hanging on too long I cannot walk away, and lose their mark My skin aging with the years, Yet memories remain ever so faint In the lines, as they cross my hands Those that touched your very face Regrets of wanting those moments back Shame of wanting you to be.

Reem, this is so touching! As we age, we often have regrets about relations we've lost. I guess all we can do is hang on and hope someone else our own age has felt the same and can relate. Friendship is the beginning of love for me. You write so well! Carolyn

Your poem Regrets is remarkable. Memories both good and bad do haunt people and linger on. A beautiful write. May I also thank you for your lavish praise of my poem You Didn't Come
