Best Regretful Poems
A Regretful Dream Awaking To Find It Has Slept With Pop Culture All Over AgainI sat at a table
It was a table for one;
There was a mirror
And a pay phone
Seated at the head,
They had all brazenly said:
"This, is ahead of its time"
- Then someone with an agenda
Started forming the lines,
Behind ulterior motives
To be the first to capitalize.
And...

Regretful ChoicesI make many decisions in my life,
In the moment of heat
But as they start sinking in,
It pierces through my soul like a knife.
It leaves behind a huge scar
That I want to hide
I end up making choices again
causing a series of war.
Now there is chaos,
between my...

Regretful ZleeperI have been constantly sleeping a million minutes, my dear
I have wept about a million tears and I don’t feel cheer
I have crept a million miles just to smile ear to ear,
Waiting for some kind of relief and happiness to draw near…
Just to get here,...

A Regretful TemperOh what a dire regret to lose one's love
A play of fate
Would you say?
Or rather a play of my own luck
Thrown upon by the evil sense
To dream and scream
I used to
To throw tantrums
I used to, every now and then
Pounding my fists
And requiring that...

RegretfulREGRETFUL
Once more and ever sorrowful
I see the bitter past
Can I perceive tomorrow till
The dark of night has passed
With time the damned
Take heed and heart
Past deeds they whimper still
Conscience jams the nutter part
So says the whip-or-will

A Regretful Mistake(A Regretful Mistake)
Aren’t I doing a mistake intentionally,
By living my life as if I were to live eternally,
When death would take place eventually?
Indeed, I am doing a mistake intentionally,
By deceiving myself mentally and spiritually,
When death is a part of reality.
How foolish can I be,
For not...

Regretful ChoiceAt the tender fetal age of six weeks old,
fingers, toes, & a heartbeat he had I've been told.
It continues to hurt so deeply & bad.
This is why I still regret & get so mad!
For a precious life I stupidly terminated,
had only I used common sense...

regretful sonYou can go to blazes the angry son said
The next day his annoying father was found dead
Son regretted these final words all of his life
Never enjoyed another day, partied or took a wife
Others tried to sense some sense into him

Regretful ReflectionThere is contempt in the voice internally scolding….
Backlash at memories past as they flash
An inner-war ensues, battle after battle
Revolted steed threw rider from saddle
War rages on, the death toll rises
Death to rationale concerning my vices
Refreshing to see…
But what of this empty…
Empty void seen only...

REGRETFUL VACATION
Every thought,
came back,
to you,
pitiful indeed.
Camping in my,
thoughts,
an unpleasant,
nights unrest.
Morning was,
no better,
the smell,
of hot coffee.
The wood fire,
burning,
last nights
desires.
The lake,
ripples,
with sounds,
I remember.
Can you,
hear me crying,
when,
it's storming?
Splashing in the,
waves,
beneath,
the sun's rays.
The smell of regrets,
repulsive,
like dead fish,
rotting on the shore.
The roar of motors,
out boards,
inboards,
the throttles of life.
Sleeping beneath,
the...

Regretful Sleepless NightsMy eyes are sore from weeping,
Heart, not up for drinking,
Hands, cold from writing,
Mind, ached from worrying
Smile, vanished from faking...
These thoughts are dumb,
The colds’ made me numb,
What I thought was within my thumb,
What I thought I’d become...
While waiting for sleep to come

Frozen In DisguiseWhat made this day a chill
suchlike an approaching winter,
where clouds absorbed the lit,
of the melting heat of summer?
What gave the sky a pour
of a storm with gloomy water?
Brought by the dimmed clouds,
was the rain of howling somber.
What forced the light to hide
above the mourn...
