Regrets

The way I should have gone
The path I should have taken
Down that long snowy tree lined road
Thinking back all these years later
It leaves me feeling shaken
It leaves me weak with regrets
The things that could have been
The life that I could have had
If only that one fateful winter
I had gone down that long snowy road
Winters now bring only remorse
A coldness that eats at my soul
I breathe deeply of painful death
I want to go back in time
I want to fix the wrong I made
But instead I drink deeply of bitterness
For a winter's decision that will never fade

aww, darling, regret and shame is the hardest thing you can go through. I don't want to ever regret. LOL
:D great read!

We all end up with regrets...time gives us the chance to beat ourselves up over them. Nice poem.

This is great writing. Words that expresses mistakes that cannot be changed!

[Wolf's Dark Song]

Life is full of regrets that we don't really notice until we've lived for a while. This poem has the cold feeling some regrets can leave us with. Great work!

[Coyote Poetry]

The poem is amazing. Artwork and words took me to a cold and lonely place. I had to read a few time for pleasure. Regret is heavy in the words. Thank you for the excellent poem.

This poem has a sad cold feeling all the way though it. I felt the pain in your words. Outstanding poem!

The way you have tied the winter's decision to the cold hard facts of life is interesting and well delivered! We may often want only the warmth of the sun, but find that life is much too cold!!
