number one on my list of regrets

 

My life's undone without you in it.
An incomplete heart,
without you as a part of it.
But please don't be mistaken,

you'll always be a part of it.
Dwelling in my memories,

I will never forget you.


Can I rewind the clock?
So I can change the things that I did

and the things that I did not.

 

However, it's too late.
It seems like I just met you

and now you've gone away.

I cried tonight,

wishing you could hear me,

bring that joy back into my life.
I remember the day you died,

how it challenged the way I live my life

and how to forsake things, like my pride.

 

I wish I could change things
and have you back.

I hope you know that I'll always love you,
that I'll always be your friend.
And I long for the day that we meet again.
I won't be sad and you won't be in pain.

I only wish you were not
number one on my list of regrets.
I should've helped you sooner
I can't apologize enough times

for not being who I should've been.

 

I can't wrap my mind around

the reason for your choice.

That you would take your life away

and leave us empty-handed.

Never will I forget your face,

the times we shared

and how you could never be replaced.

 

Author notes

Option - 18. Reverse. If you could go back in time and change anything, what would it be. Or if you could go back and see something for your own eyes or meet someone, who would that be and why.

Option - 1. write from the view of someone who lost some one to suicide

Option 3. Write a goodbye poem to someone who has either died or moved away. Make me cry, and you will get a trophy, more than likely

option three - losing a child, friend, or relative.

    There's a lot of emotion in this poem, and it's very well written as well. My favorite lines were "Never will I forget your face,

    the times we shared

    and how you could never be replaced."

    This is a really sad and powerful poem.
    I could really feel the regret and the pain.
    I personally think that just "Number One On My List Of Regrets" would have more impact as a title, but that's not up to me to decide
    Lovely writing,
    Thanks for entering

    It's hard enough to lose someone, and even harder when you know or think you could have changed it. Thanks for entering and good luck.

    The title itself can be its own poem. So often we lose things that are important to us. Saddening write.

    Warmest,

    Beautiful poem, losing someone is so hard especially when they're in such physical or emotional pain. It hurts that much more. Thank you for entering.

    I wish the one that hurt me too wasn't on the lists of things I should never have done, but he is and it's a shame... though I don't regret him really, because he made me who I am today.

    I go through this all the time with people I have lost but, as you said, there are good memories too. The person will always be part of your life, you said.

    Thank you for your entry.

    Those last two lines are great.
    This poem was one of those poems that
    consumed me, like it just took me in
    and made me see this, the sadness, the regret,
    and everything within it. Great work.
