wish she knew
          how much I loved her
          how much I cared

wish she could have seen
         past the mirrors
         the smoke I blew at her

why couldn't I show my love
how come I hid it from her
                                                    
why was I so afraid
what did I have to fear

she use count  on me

but    
      now
      to her
I don't
     even
          count

maybe I feared
        getting hurt
ironicly,
    the regret
        hurts more than
any person
      could ever
           hurt me
I guess you live
           and learn
but I feel
     I may have
         missed
     my chance
           to live

I really like your poetry.  All I can say about this one is to remember your mistakes and learn from them.  And when love finds you again, don't let go.

I have to agree with Jason on this one, don't ever regret, feel remorseful but don't regret, learn from your mistakes and teach yourself how to love because you didn't know how to before. Keep it up my dear friend, I enjoy your poetry. Best of luck! Love Always~*~Jessica~*~

So happens the first poem I decided to read today was yours after I had a huge fall out with my ex boyfriend (again)..hrmm..funny how life works, but enough about that, your poem really hits home, sounds kinda like a converstation I've had with him many times...

Isgona, That is a awsome poem. It really made me think about a situation that I'm going through right now. Maybe i should take your advice, I do like her, But should I ask her out, I mean, what would happen to our friendship? I see why you played it safe. Maybe i will do something. Thanks

amazing poem

I used to think there was nothing worse than regretting something you did, I have since then learned from past experience that it is far worse to regret not doing something at all....

do let a fear of intimacy stand in your way, we've all been there and once you experience great love that fear will disappear forever, you just have to let yourself open up a little!!

I really enjoy your work, keep it up

Thank u all for your replies!!
This poem has meant alot to me mostly cause the experience was so inportant in my life.  I have learned a hard lesson and in one way that's good but in another way I wish I could have learned in a different way.  So I hope every one in that reads this poem can learn from my mistake.  This regret really does hurt more than any thing I have felt.
thank u again for your replies

Waaaaaaay late, I know. But better late then never. I liked this it shows a lot of emotion, and it is important to know that regret stings, but shouldn't be felt for very long, because all situations serve a purpose. You needed to learn from this to live better. Anyway, keep it up.

Thanks you 2

Jenn ~ I did learn from this.  It was a very important lesson.  thx

Jennifer ~ Thanks for the support.  Luck really has swung my way.  thx

Anyhow I've revised this one since I posted it too.  basically just changed the end a little.  here it is:


~*~My Chance to Love~*~

wish she knew
          how much I loved her
          how much I cared
wish she could have seen
          past the mirrors
          the smoke I blew at her

why couldn't I
    show
       my love?
how come I
       hid it
         from her?
why was I
       so
           afraid?
what did I
        have to
             fear?

she
    use to
count
      on me
but    
      now
          to her
I don't
     even
          count

maybe I feared
        getting hurt
ironically,
    the regret
        hurts more than
any person
      could ever
           hurt me

I guess you live
           and learn
but I feel
   I missed
     my chance
           to love
and  how
    does one live
         with out love

Hey, i love your poem. so many times us young people do a lot of things we regret. most of the time it has to do with love. I think you portrayed it right on the money with this point of view. i enjoy all of your poems

To me, it's okay to regret things. Just don't let the regret take over your entire life. You'll find another woman someday. Someone who loves you as much as you love her and will cherish you no matter what... I just hope for your sake that you find her soon. Awesome heartfelt poem. The second one's good too...

DD ~ Thanks man.  I will post again... soon I think.

Sugarpie ~ Yes we do regret to often. Thanks for the poem.

Pixie ~ 'Breath taking'??? wow... thanks

SkyFire ~ your right.  I have a hard time with regret though.  especially regretting not trying.  regretting what I did is not so bad.  regretting what I didn't do is much worse.  But it's nothing but a learning experience now.  Thanks for the reply

Katherine ~ Thank you

This is so true. Regret is a horrible thing to have! People conceal their feelings too often... It's a shame too because each day may be the last one you have to show people that you care... Better luck next time. Nice work, too
