in the shade of all my regrets
we walk along the regal beach
the tide pulls sand between our toes
you shouldn't have done this
you spent too much money
in the shade of all my regrets
a breeze of mist and tropics blows
lifting my hair as i shake my head
i did it because you wanted it
i did it because i love you
in the shade of all my regrets
make believe looks real enough
the ocean still sings in the conch
but then I open my eyes, and
there was no trip, and you're dead

This poem was very moving. The beginning expresses great imagery, and the end changes the meaning of the imagery to symbols for the passing of time, regret, and loss.
The regrets of one who has past are some of the hardest to deal with, making the ending especially saddening.
