Shadows of the past <br />darken my world at the strangest times. <br />Heavy patches of sadness and pain. <br /> <br />Memories of times that have gone. <br />Thoughts of what may have been. <br />Chances that never come again. <br /> <br />Choices made. <br />Spontaneous some. Others through need. <br />Leave dark empty spaces. <br /> <br />No matter what happens, what journey you take. <br />The ghosts remain. <br />Haunting these cold lonely places. <br /> <br />With chastising voices and shameful faces. <br />They tauntingly regurgetate <br />The long disowned you. <br /> <br />Laughing at you <br />and drowning your soul <br />A pain no forgiveness subdues.<br /><br />Vanessa Millar<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/regret-54/
