Regret

in #poetry5 years ago (edited)

regret is the memory of a moment
buried under a landslide of snow
a precious heirloom lost to time's shadow
taking with it the possibility of tomorrow
move on.. forget

yet some things cannot be forgotten
nor forgiven
history comes to haunt our minds
and with it comes the burden of failure
and of loss
move on

the hope of a heart that is afraid to trust
soon falls to the shiv
shame is a taskmaster who never releases her chains
chiding the survivor to remember each sorrow
again and again and again

good poems that touch the heart.
do not regret what was, take care of what is now

Regret is like the little devil on your shoulder, always whispering in your ear about things that you can't change, trying to bring them up again to make you feel bad.
Living in the past robs a person of the energy that they need to live in the now...

thank you xox

Beautiful, I particularly like the line "shame is a taskmaster who never releases her chains"

You finally said something worth hearing.

That’s code for:
I like this poem.

I can strongly relate to your words Torico.

The opening couplet is super powerful . Small grammar error to correct if you want to, the shadow is possessed by time so there should be the possessive apostrophe there ("time's")

ty prof.. ;)

I didn't know you wrote poetry....or maybe I did. Has it been a while?

im intermittent.

The heavy, burdensome diction is also reflected in the pace and rhythm of the poem. Nicely done.
