©️ Eniyans Poetry ✨️ The Colour of Regret The colour of regret Isn't in blue or red, But in shades of experience, and What-could-have-been. For every opportunity not seized, The colour of regret paints deeper. For every connection not held, The colour of regret paints heavier. The colour of regret Waits behind a million reasons So that when it holds the brush, It bleeds of memories unspoken, Dreams half-formed, And goodbyes that never found words. It’s the hue that hides in the dusk, Between the light of what was And the dark of what remains. The colour of regret Isn’t seen by the eyes alone — It’s felt by the soul, Each shade whispering: “If only… if only…”
