I Wish I Never Did...

I don’t hold many grudges,

Or keep regrets close to heart,

But sadly there is something,

I wish I never did

 

I trusted you with everything,

Let you go and helped you back,

But sadly being with you,

I wish I never did

 

I dreamt of the impossible,

Told you my only dreams,

But sadly is was trusting you,

I wish I never did

 

I grew up because of you,

I learnt to smile and laugh,

But sadly your friendship,

I wish I never did

 

I sit here tonight,

Scribbling down my thoughts,

But sadly writing this to you,

I wish I never did…

Rather clever. I like poems that end each stanza the same way. I think it is a pretty good length. I have discovered in my own writing that people get a bit weary of the repetition after not very long, so, again, good length.

I think a few of the stanzas could be adjusted a bit, because the language doesn't really match the "I wish I never did". For example; "But sadly being with you,/ I wish I never did" It doesn't quite make sense that way. Of course, I DO undertand it. However, just a few of the lines could possibly be rephrased to lead into the final line a little better.

All around, I like this, and I appreciate the good punctuation. Very nice. :-)
