Nostalgia.

This one's a little closer to heart. It basically shows the indecisiveness of regret. You don't know if you made the right choice, and can't help thinking 'what if?'.

Defiled, bitter, warmth.

A touch I knew was soon to spoil.

Caressed by deceit,

Blinded by trust.

My euphoria of pain,

My melancholy lust.

A thousand silences,

Uttered with just one word.

Crowded and buried deep.

Emotions are weakness,

Secrets remain.

People pulled apart,

Regret regained.

Surrounded by associates,

But translucent to all,

Repulsed, regressive, satisfaction.

I'd appreciate any constructive criticism and thoughts on my work, as I'm pretty new to all of this!

very interesting take on regret and quite dark at times and i like it dark. no pun intended with that comment. x

Expertly written, expertly constructed, mellifluous vernacular and evocatively moving. The deceptively consistent meter perfectly compliments the creative rhymes. A terrific poem.

The emotions you speak of are so relatable. "My euphoria of pain, my melancholy lust." Wonderful.
