Divorce and Remorse
Two hearts became one

Now they follow different paths –
 
   Divorce with remorse



He complained constantly of my cooking

Café reservations always booking

   Said I drove him insane

   But boy did he complain

When I left for someone better looking



The complaining has...

Love's Greatest Costs Are Pangs Of Deepest Remorse

Life is not all love, sweet fun and joyous games
nor pure enjoyment seeing dawn's early rise.
Sometimes it may be our deeds revealed that shames
and cost us dearly, our heart's most precious prize.

Lost love is fast fleeing and elusive...

Premium Member flavor of remorse
I am blurred
lines circling
in spirals
into the 
deadly depths 
of darkness

taste of 
my remorse 
is flavored 
with seasoned
cream cocktails
of regrets

I've been
caught on a
honed knife edge 

as cobwebs 
of fading 
onyx Dreams 
savor burnt
poisoned thirst
to let go
of every
smoke and ash
that blinded
my senses
from seeing
the dirt you've 
fed my...

Significance Touch Remorse
Significance

Is whether or not

It touches you personally

Remorse

Is expressed in being caught

Not the aforementioned action

Because the truly Sic actually 
just don't care at all...

Distance and Remorse
I meant to kiss your scars 
And instead I've torn them raw
I became someone else 
Neither of us ever saw
You are so far away 
The only thing I want now
Is for you to be ok
I hurt you
And made you afraid 
How far from cuddling on...

Premium Member Voter's Remorse
If roses are red
then violets are blue.
If you were as dumb as me
you'd have voted for Trump too.

This election just past,
I never wanted to sin
but I'm so tired of Losing wars
when Earth's climate needs to Win.

I needed to act
not just say what we say
a little...

Premium Member Remorse For Past Deeds
Deep regrets lying dormant in the mind,
Stifle the thought processes lodging there
They mingle not with concepts refined,
Unless dislodged, they foster grim despair.
Remorse for past deeds you cannot repair
Will seriously tarnish your delicate soul
And from your good life take a bitter toll.

Running through the Lost Forest of no tomorrows, my heart beats at warp speed as the hideous howls draw nearer. My thoughts briefly digress to the world I knew before. I had no time for God or religion. My only goals in life were self-centered...

Premium Member Self-Sentenced Solitude :POTD:
Locked within the confines of my mind’s dark cell,
Both convict and captor, a self made hell.
Each thought a shackle, every memory a bar,
Confined by my own mind, a prisoner of psychological scars.

In this self-imposed exile, I am utterly alone,
A solitary figure locked in a world...

Premium Member Sailor's Quandary
Shall I do penance for my hasty words,
or poise myself on this quaint narrow quay
to smell the salty perfume of the sea,
on platinum ship sail so far away?

I quiver with trepidation and dread.
Forgive my horrid rashly spoken speech
before I venture this stormy voyage.
Assuage my repentant...

But, what if this was the last time I cried,
Don't want to be hidden behind lying scrys.
The world forgotten on their prying device,
Humanity alone algorithmic thrice.

Heaven on you shoulder beckons you home,
Mirror-sucking...

Remission of Love
I kind of getting in motion just to control my emotions.
With every condition 
I find nothing but division in every portion.
All positions seem to be out of proposition.
In my proportion I am now in exposition,
to win back my position.
Eviction is what threatens my admission,
 From...
