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
