Missed opportunities,

Regrets fill my mind,

All these good things in life,

I left them all behind.

The chances I had

We’re abundant,

Yet I did not care to walk

Through the open doors.

I tried to fight

Fate,

I was too impatient to

Wait.

I wanted success now!

These futuristic, long-shot

Chances,

They just weren’t how!

So I missed out,

I learned a hard lesson,

In the end, we only regret the chan...

I lay there.

Gasping for air.

Did we make it?

I feel her hand grasp mine so tight.

Comfortable and safe.

We are okay.

Everything inside of me trying to forget the last 24 hours.

The adventure feels like a dream.

Maybe a nightmare?

No matter what, it was worth it with her.

In the end, we only regret the chances we didn’t take....

Two strangers meet at a party.

One popular, One not very much so.

Cross paths in the hallway.

Eyes lock and hearts glow.

Could this be love?

Could this be the feeling I have been waiting for?

Her eyes glittered and her smile I adored.

I need to meet her, I need to know her name.

Did she feel what I felt when we crossed paths in the hallway?

I have to get to know her or miss my big break.

In t...

It’s a mountain lake

The sun sparks off the surface

I see your silhouette

But you feel far away.

Are you thinking of far away places?

Am I there with you? Is she there with you?

I know I can’t hold you back

I can’t keep you here

You’ll go on without me

I’ve known since the beginning

And still, I took a chance

It’s a snowy landscape

There is no chill

The sun is warm on my face

I don’t ...

There is much debate

Which choice to make

And if we’ll regret it

But in the end

We only regret the chances we didn’t take...

we were just kids

we didn’t know what we were in for

we were happy as best friends

until it turned into more

we could’ve taken it further

but we thought we had lots of time

we held back so much

and then it was summertime

we fell apart

i missed him and cried

all the memories we never made

all the feelings i had to hide

there was so much more

so many words we never said

so many hugs w...

She sits at the desk, biting the end of the pen.

The ink hovers over the dotted line.

Diving head first into uncharted waters

Her initials slowly form

Loops act like waves

Until they break

Don’t forget to cross your t’s

In the end, we only regret the chances we didn’t take....

Our friendship begins it’s inevitable fizzle

A platonic spark left marooned

I’m left thinking about how it could have been

Every night instead of every moon

It’s something we pondered

Something we dreamed

Something alleged but never seen

And now

Surely the door must be closed

Surely the light has been put out

Alone I sit

Alone I wonder

In the end we only regret the chances we don’t take...

Shout out to XOXO,Zain for inspiring this. You did something very similar to this with the promot and your writings. So here is what I think my top 5 poems are.

**[Lonely together]**

The feeling grips at my chest,

Pulls on my heart,

Compresses my lungs,

Evelops me whole.

My mind body and soul,

a void of all emotion,

but sadness,

and loneliness .

The silence is so loud,

It hurts my head,

It le...

All my hopes come by the night I dream.

To awake to fruity aromas and running hugs.

And the curtains are looking lively right?

The house is alive with love.

To awake to fruity aromas and running hugs

No dust or dim lit lights-only fullness of peace

And the curtains are looking lively right?

The ambiance of divine music healing plants.

No dust or dim lit lights-only fullness of peace.

The elepha...
