Dancehall of Sorrows

That feeling you get 
Drowning in regret 
Lonely 
Isolated, yet 
Happy and content 
Only 
Seeing silhouette 
Of past me, I fret 
wholly  

Dancehall of Sorrows was written for the Tanka Tuesday challenge by Melissa.

Is it possible to be happy and content and live with regret? This question is one that I was thinking about while writing the poem. If one has regrets, do they have to be down and out, and sad? The answer I came up with is no. A person can still live a full and happy life.
