Trading Yesterday

If I could trade yesterday
I would have never let you walk away
If I could trade yesterday
I wouldn’t have said those words to you
If I could trade yesterday
I would have tried to make you see
If I could trade yesterday
I would have showed you what you meant to me
If I could trade yesterday
I wouldn’t have let my pride get in the way
If I could trade yesterday
I would still have your love today.

[Coyote Poetry]

A powerful poem of regret. Most of us regret many things. I believe after a time. Regrets are just reminders we pay for our deeds and sins forever. Thank you for the excellent poem.

Like the other reviewers said, regret can be a crippling thing. I think a lot of people would be able to relate to this poem. Its directness and repetitive structure works really well. Like regrets that we constantly play over and over in our heads. Nice write. NH

I think this is something we can all relate to at some point in our lives. Regret is something virtually no one can escape from entirely. I definitely understand and can relate to this poem. Sometimes however no matter how much we do it isnt enough and we continue to feel as though if only we had done more. Very well written.

regret is such an awful thing, especially when its toward not saying the things that matter. very powerful poem, it was a little difficult to read because of the yellow font, but still a powerful poem. :)

This is very sad and real and I like the tone of regret...the picture was a nice addition as well. Great job!

I liked it, but I would change the yellow to something a little darker. Otherwise, great work.
