Premium Member Someone They Could Not Live Without

They never regretted their decision to marry…
there never was a doubt…
for they found someone easy to live with
whom they could not live without.

To Not Live, Is To Die Unhappy

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.

Break Up

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


Premium Member The Hollow Heart

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

Think

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

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

World of Hurt

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.

Premium Member Fallen

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

Ace Up My Sleeve

(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.

If

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.

Premium Member Temptation

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!

Premium Member Sweet Serenade

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

Regret

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.

Anonymous

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

One Shadowed Past

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.

Sleepless Nights

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

Passed

In this lonesome world that was robbed of light, you alone came and lit it up, you are my salvation, my hope and my life. I have regretted letting you go, I desire to have you at my arms length for the rest of my life, but I surmise, you never would want to be with me again. I have loved you, and I still do, it saddens me that you had ceased to.

Premium Member Soggy Trails

unceasing, unstoppable
a force of nature, this rain
the sun no sooner pops out 
here come the clouds and my hopes are dashed again

wretched, muddy, soggy trails
far too slippery to hike
a day that I regretted
winter’s constant rain is what I most dislike

Sober Acceptance Gandg

unabashed analyzation
overturned rocks 
and constant contemplations
an effortful acceptance 
spurned out of desperation 
gathers speed now flying
taking, ticking, tocking
the past once regretted 
incomplete when forgotten
ambitious non-removal
ticking now, now tocking
can through such a fog
of dense perplexity
a life be shaken loose
can something take me
tick me, tock me

He Took a Toke

(This is a fictional poem)

I sold my cousin some poison ivy but I told him that it was pot.
When he started itching, he regretted what he bought.
He rolled up a joint and took a toke.
When he didn't get high, many of my bones got broke.
I learned a valuable lesson as I looked at my bruises, cuts and scars.
Never try to pass poison ivy off as pot if the guy is bigger than you are.

Premium Member regretful son

You 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
They could not get through to sorrowful Jim
He was determined to punish himself the rest of his days
His life was in grayscale now, everything else a haze
