Regrets

There are no words

to help me understand.

Quiet in the trees,

standing close at hand.

You're not far away,

just out of the shade.

Yet you seem so far

as the sun starts to fade.

All alone once again,

after I found such peace.

Now I look to the sky,

hoping for a release.

I never told you how

I felt for you in truth.

So I stand here regretting

you never saw proof.

Though our lips never met,

our eyes lingered still

and I regret my action:

walking down the hill.

I never looked back,

and was never forced to see

the tears in your eyes

as I left quietly.

Now it seems I was wrong,

you loved me through it all.

Until that fateful day,

when you took your final fall.

So I stand quietly,

in the shade of these trees.

Hoping to find peace

bowed down on my knees.

absolute pleasure in reading this poem, makes me feel of some emotions strongly by bringing tears into my eyes. I read a no. of poems but review only the most liked ones and this is one of those...
really fantastic, i loved the way you had put the rhyming words, i love having rhyming words in my poems but sometimes, i try for non-rhyming too. your poem talks about the truth and reality; loved your poem...
thanks for sharing 'regrets...'

"Though our lips never met,

"I never looked back,
and was never forced to see
the tears in your eyes
as I left quietly."

These stanzas actually made the depth of the piece very clear. Just as a crystal.
All in all, I really loved this poem. Have I told you, that you are a really good writer? Well if not, here it is. You write really good. Your writings have meaning and they just speak to the readers for themselves.

Great work! :)

This is so sad. But it was truly beautiful, I agree with silent all these years it is something that everyone can relate to they regret doing something but by then it's too late. Great job :)

thank you crystal :) i have too much experience with stuff like this lol

[Viv Wade]

Such a sad poem, and easy to relate to - I think we all have regrets about things we didn't do or say while we had the chance. Good work!

Ok so, I like it. I think it's sweet but it leaves me with questions. I appreciate the mystery and in all honesty I have no idea what to say so I am in fact rambling on. This being said I sincerely apologize for my uh.. Actually maybe I don't. It's a thought process I'm getting there. Did you know it's a common misconception people have with writer's they say we always have words. That's not true you only have something to say depending on the situation and your feelings towards it. well, that's my opinion or experience at least. Now that I have that out of the way. I like it, I've nothing to add and nothing to take away. Sorry.

lol no problem :) and even if you just ramble, it makes it look like a really good review. i appreciate the review no matter how it is

[Meraki]

Dante, you're so incredibly easygoing it's almost a problem. I want to take my hat off to you and simultaneously slap you with my glove. You're awesome.

[Not here]

lol thanks :) or you could just take ur hat off and slap me with it. problem solved

[Meraki]

But that depends on the hat. You can't slap someone with a top hat, it looks silly. Plus I don't want to slap you, that's not very nice.
