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!
Until the next post,
Keep Smiling :)
Love,
Swathi :)
Her regret will be tempered by time.
ReplyDeleteTime will heal HER pain and she will regret no more !
ReplyDeleteVery nice but sad poem.Such regrets abound in many for unintended actions.
ReplyDeleteTime is a big healer! She will feel 'at ease' after some time.
ReplyDeleteYour poem lashed at my heart. Forgiving oneself is a hard thing to do. Beautifully written.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful poem about loss and pain. Love the last line.
ReplyDeleteRegret 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.
ReplyDeleteThe pain of regret and guilt is a difficult burden to bear. Your poem expresses that very well, Swathi. I like the way you have taken on the A-Z challenge. Well done!

ReplyDeleteSometimes 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 :)

ReplyDeleteah, those flames of regret.. You write so well Swathi - brings out her emotions...Feel sorry for her. Eventually she has to let it go I think,,
ReplyDeleteAhh 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.

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.......

Aah, one cant with regret all through.
ReplyDeleteRegrets, whatever happened cannot be undone. But the pain is there.
ReplyDeleteAww this is so heartbreaking. Loved the ending lines.
ReplyDeleteEverything tempers down with time, even regret.

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 !
