Long Poems About Regret
1. “The Weight of Regret”
Regret is a heavy weight,
That bears down on my heart,
A constant reminder,
Of choices that were hard.
The things I wish I had said,
The things I wish I hadn’t done,
The words that were left unsaid,
The bridges that were burned.
It’s a weight that I carry,
Every day and every night,
A burden that I bear,
With all my might.
But in the end, I know,
That I must learn to let it go,
For the weight of regret,
Will only continue to grow.
2. “The Echo of Regret”
Regret echoes in my mind,
A constant refrain,
A reminder of what could have been,
And what will never be again.
The words that were left unsaid,
The actions that were wrong,
The opportunities missed,
The damage that was done.
It’s an echo that I hear,
Every day and every night,
A haunting melody,
That fills me with blight.
But I know that I must move on,
And leave the past behind,
For the echo of regret,
Will only hold me bind.
3. “The Shadow of Regret”
Regret casts a shadow,
Over all that I do,
A constant reminder,
Of all that I’ve been through.
The paths not taken,
The mistakes I’ve made,
The things I wish I could change,
The love that has fade.
It’s a shadow that follows me,
Everywhere I go,
A constant reminder,
Of all that I’ll never know.
But I know that I must move on,
And find the light within,
For the shadow of regret,
Will only hold me in.
4. “The Pain of Regret”
Regret is a pain that lingers,
deep in my heart,
a feeling of sorrow,
that never depart.
The words that were spoken,
in anger and haste,
the actions that were taken,
with no second thought or taste.
It’s a pain that I bear,
day and night,
a feeling of emptiness,
that gives me no respite.
But I know that time will heal,
and the pain will fade away,
for the regret will not define me,
and I’ll be okay.
5. “The Road of Regret”
Regret is a road that I walk,
a path that I tread,
a journey of sorrow,
that leaves me un-shed.
The decisions that I made,
the choices that I took,
the mistakes that I did,
that left me with a broken book.
It’s a road that I walk alone,
with no end in sight,
a journey of sorrow,
that gives me no respite.
But I know that this road will end,
and I’ll find my way back home,
where I’ll leave the regret behind,
and I’ll find a new path to roam.
