Another piece of pain released. Was it worth the effort?

Question

empty regret

Somewhere in the vicinity of us,
Where I will not hear, not a single word.
I keep this flame of bitterness and hate,
It will keep my warm till my dying day.

Burning my candle at both ends,
One less flame awaits the dawn.
Living in a world of what has been said,
AllI know is I feel cold and I feel dead.

Seated on the edge, of all that is left,
I am but a shell full of empty regret.
I stand and I watch the remains of my soul,
Mixed in with anger, a crimson flow,

I know I wasted, all of my life,
Please, just this once be honest with me.
I'll take it back, all the waste that is mine,
Just do what is right and claim all of your own.

I will hang on to all of the pain, a token of our hate,
Become my sin, a blde with which to pierce my skin.
Free from the damned, that pulls us down.
Covered with blood, what becomes of us now.

Answer 1

you poems speak the truth, the feelings deep within released but no longer suger coated with the stuff that makes it better. No one wants to see or own up to it, but its there. Some see it better than others though.. great poem.

Answer 2

It's truly a wonderfully written poem, a very deep reflection on one's past and the violent emotions it triggers.
However, I could only say: it's a pity to spend life in regrets, try to live at least a part of it, when it will end you'll think you would like to get another life and find happiness, you'll feel you've wasted this one...
