Regret She gets up and looks in the mirror Wondering what the day will bring Will it be something unforeseen? Or a day like all the rest Nothing new to profess Just more loneliness She dries her hair and puts on her makeup Wondering why She should even try To overcome the emptiness Of the unforgivable foreverness Of a life gone bad Wishing for what she never had She has her coffee in solitude However did she get to this place? An enemy with no face Never leaving a trace It gets so hard to fake That she didn’t make a mistake She sips salty coffee and remembers The mistake of words spoken without insight She uttered in such fright She thought she had no right Now it’s impossible to move on When what she denied has gone She looks out the window Closing her eyes to the warmth of the sun Wishing she could undo the undone If only she had been brave enough to reach for more She wouldn’t be fighting this daily war |

Sea, Thank you. I am fine, just expressing. The saddness is exactly what I wanted to come through. I am just experimenting with different ways of doing so. Susan C. |

"fighting a daily war" is a great expression that anyone who carries an emotional burden can identify with. I enjoyed this poem. |

You did a good job of bringing out the sadness, the pain. But regrets are only to fade away. Use them as a learning experience, to help you grow and move on. |

Such sadness can only be cured by time and the kindess of others around you |
