Regret

Today our prompt was to write a 'regret' poem... there are a lot of ways I could have gone with that, but I don't have any patience with 'regret' anymore (not that I haven't spent a ridiculous amount of time wallowing there in the past) but I'm just done with it - it's so useless, and wastes what little time you have... so here's my poem... guess you'll get the idea...


Regret

is a bitch with her head on backwards
a liar who taunts you with how it could have
been different,
if only,
you had (or hadn’t)
blah, blah, blah

Deal with her like any bitch, walk away,
she’s a time waster, with a poison tongue,
what’s done
is done,
you did, (or didn’t)
it’s over now

  1. I REALLY liked this poem! I've been thinking about regret a lot lately, and I love this attitude toward it!
