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 |

Ooh very nice... I especially like "undo the undone." Am in love with your choice of format. Well composed.  And if this is a repost because of that reboot, you'll have to take "repost" out of the subject line or you won't collect the votes you got earlier.

 (big hugggssssss) Sadly there is nothing we can do about going back and fixing regrets, dearest friend, don't take center line in this inner-war, instead turn away and live each new minute to the fullest or you'll only create more regrets! (sigh) This is powerful, dearest friend, you have my vote, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Susan, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Regrets - a curse of the past, it is our choice if we let them share today and tomorrow with us. Love this write. Happily cast my vote for this. |

It is easy to look in the mirror and say what if..to regret perhaps the what if's we might still be able to go back and change..wondering if the courage exists..or the will..or even it is the right thing to do. I wish many times I had the answers to regret or the future.. so.. the poem touches me on several different levels... thank you for reposting..and for giving us the opportunity to vote on it. |

To overcome the emptiness Of the unforgivable foreverness Of a life gone bad Wishing for what she never had This is a powerful poem that deeply touches all of us who live with regrets... the siren call of "might have been" falls bitter on the ears. *S* Excellent work! |
