R for Regret!!

image source: google images

She cries out loudly,
As she remembers the past!
For a millionth time again,
She regrets her part!

She craves for a second chance,
To set things right!
She wishes to go back,
As she longs for her better half!

I wish I wouldn't have done it!
I shouldn't have fought!
Neither he would have gone out,
Nor would he have died!

It wasn't your mistake,
She was told by her friends!
It was just an accident,
Which you can do nothing to mend!

She tries to believe it,
That it wasn't her fault!
But! Oh but! She longs afresh,
As the flames of regret lash at her heart!

  7. Regret is a strange emotion. I try hard to never regret anything and move forward because forgiveness is a strength and regret is a weakness. Beautiful poem.

  11. Sometimes it best to leave things to fate and know that no matter what one does, one can never change destiny. But yes, there is always the If, only thought that fails to leave our mind. Nicely penned Swathi :)

  22. Ahh regret. I have vowed in my life to never regret. Can it be done? Perhaps- every step, every choice takes us to where we need to be. Even if it brings pain, we have to accept that. Thanks for sharing this.

  23. I know many people who always say "No regrets" I can't agree. I also do not agree that time heals all wounds. I am an optimist - always looking for the best in everything but there is some pain that time can never heal. Just as there are some circumstances you can never fully recover from - I have counseled people in this area for decades as a result of what I have been through. We can encourage one another, we can change our focus, we can heal....but sometimes.......

  28. Regret is such a painful feeling, Swathi. The fact that we can't turn back into the past and undo something.... life doesn't come with a ctrl Z !
