Never meant to
Laugh
About your fears
Never meant to
Walk
Away from you
Never meant to
Scare
You silly
Never meant to
Talk
Instead of listening
Never meant to
Yell
To stop your crying
Never meant to
Break
Your favorite vase
Never meant to
Say
upsetting words
Never meant to
Hurt
Your feelings
Never meant to
Do
Everything wrong
Never meant to
Loose
You for good
Never meant to
Be
Alone again

Sometimes, me included, folk can get too wrapt up in our own interests and priorities to recognise the feelings of others. Love the way you have worded this Fred.
Thanks so much Michael, wanted to try out a different structure.
"Never meant" to be Human, is what I read herein. Good one, Fred!
And you DO have a point! To err is human, to do it again is stupid.
Delightful reading. I love your poem and can relate to it. Why we lose our temper and say what we don't want too. I always wait being attacked three times before I defend myself. If I can hold without say anything I will walk alway before it is too late to apologize. Thanks for this beauty
Malu, you are amazing. I don't think I could hold my mouth that long. Always had a wee bit of a temper (as Renzi would say). But I do try to count to ten in my mind now before answering.
Yeah! Straight to the point--love it!
Mahalo Night Owl! Why talk around the bush if you can say it straight.
Good write.
Thank you Goldfinch, much obliged!
So sorry about your regrets. But, I guess they are just part of life and something we should try to learn from. I don't regret reading this Fred. Very good!
WBL, thank you! The poem came out of my imagination. While I have said a lot of dumb, bad, or even hurtful things in the past, my wife is a very forgiving person (she also knows me!) and we are still together after over 40 years of marriage. Am glad you do not regret reading it! 🙂
A fine write Fred.
Thank you so much for reading, orchidee
Oh my word. So many what if's this brings to mind. Too many regrets in life, we seem to gather them with our years my friend.
Thanks b-e, I cannot even count the times I wished I could have taken the words back. I do try to hold my tongue now, at least for a little while. But also found that the older I get, the more impatient I get. Don't want to waste my time on trivialities.
I get told off for being blunt. Today i regret the things i actually said and did yesterday but my brain still tells me i was right. It's not easy being perfect you know.
I know b-e! And it is SO HARD to improve on perfection!!!! 🙂
If u want any tips on improving on perfection. Ask your wife, if shes anything like mine was, she's got it all.
Beautifully simple and simply beautiful.
Mahalo Bibbeck, and what a nice comment! Appreciate it!
Never mean to do it but did it anyways. That is how we hurt others and get hurt. Sometimes, we even did not have the chance to change what we did, and have to swallow the consequences. Never became ever. Nice poem.
You are so right. Thanks for your comment, I do appreciate it.
