To the victims it's immense
Decisions regretted...

Mediaised, regretted
Unyielding, disregarding, uncaring
Cruelty spawning cruelty
Humanity...

there never was a doubt…
for they found someone easy to live with
whom they could not live without....

Upon the porch he sat,
rocking;
ninety-years of flesh and blood;
The cloudless sky above
seemed
to tell the story of his life;
and he regretted this....

The fear of failure
Drove him mad
So instead of attempting achievement
He did nothing
Regretted something
And accepted failure

Why the hell did it happen?
Knowing you was never regretted
We share a lot of great memories together
Looking back- I thought we were forever
But thank God everything happens for the better...

With years gone by unwedded

One's heart is ever indebted

All moments in time regretted

With no child ever begotten

One's soul is left soiled and rotten

All hope is ever forgotten...

The choices that are made 
Between what to choose 
Are bound to be regretted 
Making us wonder 
What if it had been the other 
Nonetheless, there is no perfection
As the other always seems better...

All things that are said 
In the heat of the moment.
Will be regretted 
In the cold light of day. 
So think!before you speak 
For we can never take back 
All those hurtful things 
We never meant to say.

Unspoken words

Saddest things never said
Broken hearts never mended
Feelings never soothed
Souls never moved

Unspoken words

Regretted forever
Loves lost
Never to be forgotten
Hurts more now than then...

Painful lies,
broken ties.
Burned down dreams,
razor-ed seams.
Hellish fire,
ruined empire.
Bloody cuts,
hopeless "buts."
Hurtful words,
"You deserve..."
Silent cries,
regretted goodbyes.
Baby, it's a World of Hurt....

i fell
i fell hard
and not for a moment
ever regretted it

you were you
i was me
together we were
inseparable

still you're gone
i'll carry on
till we meet again
my fallen soldier

(This is a fictional poem)

One day I was cheating at poker and I got caught.
When I saw them get the branding iron, it sure looked hot.
They branded my balls before I could leave.
I seriously regretted hiding that ace up my sleeve....

Of all that has come and gone,
the coffins I have stood before, 
the words I have said and regretted,
my daily cursings of God
and my nightly prayers,
it is you I think of most often.
And if our paths cross,
I will not speak one word....

TEMPTATION


Countless of your 
Sweet traps have I resisted,
Oh, temptation,
Many a time
BUT
On, almost, every occasion,
Have to declare, I regretted it. 
That alone, I swear, 
Is my crime!

Here lies the remains of Dietrich Hoeschen
Died in an unexpected coal mine explosion,
He never regretted going underground
So in this final resting place we found
He’s safe from any further earth erosion.

Leaving home for work one day
  serenaded by a tuneful jay

Walking down a garden lane
  once more came his sweet refrain

Glancing over my right shoulder
  my friend was following, ever bolder

His song emblazoned on my mind
  the blue jay crooned with voice so kind

That as I opened my workday door
  I regretted that he sang no more...

I regretted the day that I met you.

The day that  I  have fallen in love with you.

I regret that I love you, not because you messed up,  but because I did.

I messed up  with those childish mistakes,

I hurt you,  yes I did, I let you cry yes I did.

I messed up, I regretted everything because I love you and yet I hurt you, now I've lost you....

The dark, eerie balcony
This is where it took place
She was terrorized by fear
But fell with such grace.

Dangling and dying
She regretted that leap
Gasping for air
Yet falling asleep.

The cold, lifeless body
Burned around the neck
Was found that morning 
Hovering above the deck.





God Bless Those Souls Who Thought There Was No Hope...

Emptyness shadowed over her
No feeling
In her body,

These blades
Taken to her skin

Had this pain
Bring her back to reality.

Now these scars
Only hide a past

One of struggles,
Dispair,
Of a depressed child -

To, whom is now
One happy woman.

All the pain

Just a memory.

All things thought,
But very few, have been...
Regretted....

O'
 I 
I write you
 this prayer letter
 In awe hoping 
you feel better
 Almighty Holy One
 incapable of being ill sick and yet 
I've read somewhere
 that you Father 
Abba Father God 
You yourself had once regretted
 that you even you 
Repented that you made

tossing & turning its now time to stay awake
another sleepless night
had enough of this severe chronic back ache

In my morning pain I may have said some things
those horrible spoken words 
that a sleepless night brings

I wish I’d never said them,  I’m seriously appalled 
for those horrible spoken words
no matter how much regretted can never be recalled...
