#remorse poems on Hello Poetry

Francie Lynch Apr 2016

There's a ******* dog
Prowling our streets;
Not the kind that likes to eat,
But devours us,
Piece by piece;
Whether we're up,
Or trying to sleep.
Relentless in pursuit,
Dripping, pausing at each dark house,
Crouched and listening
For tears and shouts;
In the shadow, drooling,
And then there is a wooing,
For one to run out
To its insatiable hunger.

It tears my peace asunder.
Have you seen it loping by?
By God I know I'm in its eyes,
This mongrel escaped from Paradise
Before we knew its name.

This devil dog
Feasts on losses,
Gorges on gains.

A ******* dog
With its bone,
A rapacious beast
Best left alone.

In Confidence

Don't tell, but -
I missed my flight and...
And thought of you today.
That time when
You were working – a TV job...?
The details fade.

I was in the taxi
On my way
When suddenly the truth sank in –
I was not going to make it.

I almost called you
But I stopped myself -
You’d be at work,
I’d have to leave a message,
You’d call me back...

And the morale of the story
Would be - I am an idiot.
That’s all. An idiot.

I’m sorry and I feel stupid
And I want to call you now.

Now that I have
Something to confide
And no one to confide it in.

How Deep

If friendship is now where we might be able to stand
Know I am sorrow, please take my hand

I didn't know how deep your loved flowed
A short love story is all I let be told

I kneel on your shore, a great part of me ripped out
It was my fualt, so I'll just bow my head and cry and pout

Please don't take your friendship too
Because then there'll be nothing left, I'll be hollow and blue

I'll never know the depths of pain I put you through
I never ment for my darkness to scar you up too

And I'm afraid to ask for friendship, because there seems to be something my soul lacks.
And the void has been filled in with the darkness and the black

Plaese remember and never doubt, I Love you!!!
Because even though you tried to rip it away
My love for you still stayed

If this is the last we are to communicate
At lest I'll stand here and shout from the gate

I LOVE YOU!!!!♥♥♥♥

Blissfully Unaware

Lifes blood ebbs away
I'm sorry I could not stay
But life will go on
I was no longer strong
Even a diamond can crack
And no one had my back

Don't cry for me
Just because my body you can't see
I leave you memories, and love
And now this agony I'm gonna be free of

I've written it down the best I could
And maybe by some I'll be understood
My poems capture my life and torment
Put into this world for Gods enjoyment

With all this pain and remorse
I took this way out, of course
It's not the easy way out, as they say
I thought it through for days and days

My thoughts have formed a noose
And more pain made sure it wasn't lose
So now all I need is to step off this chair
And become so unaware........

thank you.

thank you for being here
thank you for being the only one who stayed when they left me
even though you ******* left too in the end
- l.w.

at first sight part two

Feeling unsatisfied never swept over me
only a fire blazing hotter, unabashedly
Carnal knowledge never my only motivation
overwhelming magnetism distracted by seduction
Felt high like a ******, thirsting then drawing blood
feelings are magnified when all of our emotions flood
Mind drowned by the drugs only the body can provide
feet lifted, mind blown, heart pounding and eyes wide
Tasting, drinking, thirsting the drug that is you
better than down, higher than up, I found both to be true
....but....
As high as Icarus flew, so fast did he fall
as fast as I was flying, so did I hit a wall
We got to this point in a blink of an eye
faster than comprehension can deny
A reality check came that I couldn't cash
sudden as a car crash, smash face on the car dash
That blast was so bad and it ****** up my ****
you're worse than coke or even dope to quit
Regret didn't exist when next to me you were fastened
my thirst is now a sickness, I wish you never happened

Pinot Noir

My heart pours
smooth like a
fine red wine,

And I scowl and
scamper for a
glass in the night,

So it can land so
safely and surely
for consumption.

But someone always
drinks it so fast
with no remorse.

And it was I
who poured it.
I allowed it
to be drunk.

Insides

I cut myself open, peeked inside
to look for remorse
but found none.
You see, it was empty.

as if I had hid under the covers,
forgot to breathe
so that all my insides strangled
and only remembered how to die.

Better Than I Am

There's something surely burning
When I get the yearning
To be better than I am.

There's a flicker of contrition
That spreads from my ambition
To be better than I am.

My temperature increases,
My spirit gets heat blisters;
I will concoct a balm.

I'll fan the flames with sorrow,
Add the worries of tomorrow,
To burn away the waste.

When purged
I'll have the embers,
To ensure that I remember
What first ignited me
To be better than I am.
