One regret

One regret

A Poem by MandaBear
"

Just something I thought of while watching whose line is it anyway. I know strange right? Love or hate???

"
I leave this world with one regret
The only thing that truly mattered.
Something to precious to me.
Not even the truth could tell.
What once was is no longer.
There was something going on.
I never told a soul about it.
It wasn't supposed to happen.
Things got out of hand
One thing led to another.
I am sorry I wish i could turn back time.
I would make everything all right.
Oh, If only that lie didn't come out.
Maybe things would be different.
But sadly this is how its going down.
For I must leave this wretched town.
This will never make any sense
Not to me or to anyone.
I wish I hadn't done what I did.
But, the moment slipped.
I leave this world with one regret.
So I must tell you now 
I need to get this off my chest.
You need to know the truth.
I slept with your best friend.
I was drunk you must believe me.
That is no excuse for the horrible thing i have done.
Which is why in this world i am done.
To you my everlasting love
I know what i did was wrong
And i know i will not be forgiven
Nor should I be for what happened.
Now I am leaving a mark on my chest 
As I have done to your heart.
                  . . . ..My only regret is making you love me.

A powerful poem. Regret is a strong force. Can take our thoughts and we can feel bad and incomplete. I like how you told the story in this poem. The ending made the poem complete. Thank you for the excellent poem.

first of all, i loved how you identify yourself with this crazy messed up person you've imaginated, it's hard to write about feelings you actually don't deal with, sometimes it's even hard to write about the ones you deal with ! xD
Loved the use of quatrains (yeah Amanda, you're coming every time a bit closer to Shakespeare's style *___*), the last one is a triplet but it doesn't break the metrics of the poem thanks to the last final verse ... your personal signature *___* !! Can't talk about a rhyme scheme but I was glad to catch a couple of rhymes during the poem (both of them using the same words ... that's too easy, try something more complicated ! xD)
I was listening to "perfect" by Pink while reading your poem and believe me, they fit perfectly, both from a "theme point of view (lato sensus speaking of course)" and a "flow point of view" !!
Your last verse is perfect and conclude the poem superbly !
Great poem, great job !
Giving you only 100/100 because they don't let me give you more :(

I like this poem.
It has a good rhythm and flow.
One mistake: you spelt wretched wrong. :D Other than that, it's beautiful.
