Does this poem I have written reflect sufficient regret in its tone?

Yes.

I read it, magnetised, and slightly awed, , from the very first verse, as I would read

a much - thumbed familiar very loved book, which I had once somehow mislaid, and

thought of 0h, so often.

The summarising verse has so much within it.

It is always a return to true poetry to read you, and this....far exceeded my expectations.

For your rhyme - scheme, you might place `there`, between `concealed` and, `for, (last verse, L2)

yet...either way it is so - fine...delicate touches conveying the weight of time`s understandings.

Your separating `can` and `not` (verse 5) to emphiasize, is...an exquisite marvel of subtlety.TY..

This revealing sincere write makes makes being here ..much better.

We all beat ourselves for some acts we do without having full facts at our disposal. Regret for what? For breaking up? Or breaking up badly? Would you have still stayed with the said person had you known of the fate awaiting him?

Yes, you've shared your moment of weakness and confusion well!

Oh yes, it `s like my black coffee

It `s dark and yet bitter sweet

It `s rather sad tinted with regrets

It `s truly a lament that can`t atone

As I wonder who that writer can be

Sorry but the regret I feel you are expressing is for yourself and not the person you hurt, if I am wrong than accept my regrets for saying it. It is very lovely poem and there is much feeling in the words.

It is a beautifully written and sad poem.

''Oh that's so sad and so very very sad

the tiers are falling blurring my screen

Lovely write

As always, anywhere, you share eloquently, and emotionally. Yes this express a wide range of emotions, and senses, not the least of which is regret. <3

that's the first constructive poem with emotional tones ive read in this place

That's lovely Cassie...but sad enough to make me cry.
