Regret

This is the first poem I have posted on Writers Cafe

Regret… so much regret

 

I can hear it so calmly and antagonizing in your voice

I could slip away into nothingness you would not even blink twice

You wallow and roll in your loathing for me, wishing you had made a different choice

If only you had not met me that afternoon, it was chance just a roll of the dice

 

So much energy I have spent for us

Time and sacrifice to make things romantic and enjoyable

You ate it up and spit it in my face, you whine and fuss

This situation is unbearable even deplorable

 

So much I have given you, my youth, my body, my soul

It was never what you wanted

I have wasted it all on someone who is stuck in a self defeating lull

Someone who no longer touches, or kisses, or caresses who leaves me haunted

 

Haunted by my own lust for you

Haunted by my desire to be close to you

Haunted by my words “forever is not long enough”

Haunted by the realization that you have had enough

 

I am angry and rightfully so

You can pretend to love me but that is cruel

I am betrayed by; my lover is now my foe

You have made out to be a complete fool

 

Regret… in the end it is all that was real

So much pain in this .I can understand it though as it has been my own case a time or two. It takes a lot to swallow our pride and admit these things well done

Huh. I like it. Hits a bit close to home. :) I think a bit more punctuation would make it look a bit neater, but I think that's my only "bad" thing to say. Good job.

The one emotion that I truly hate. Your thoughts are well expressed, though I couldn't quite understand the rhyme scheme. In that respect it was a little difficult to read. Nevertheless, the lines, "Haunted by my words "forever is not long enough" Haunted by the realization that you have had enough" really caught me. And it hit me that along with regret, there is also the feeling of being an utter fool. This is a great poem, very thought provoking. Write on!
