Is there meaning here? I stare into space oblivious to all but my own numbness, hoping for a call - a beckoning voice to draw me back from the edge of my self-imposed exile. Drop the feathery gauze from these old, battered lenses and push me if necessary out of the warm niche carved long ago in this mount of regret.

The first question that pops up in my mind: What causes this regret and how is it related to the self-imposed exile?

I invite interpretations, but to me, what causes regret IS the self-imposed exile. All the things I missed out on by isolating myself to protect myself.

Indeed, sometimes we miss out an opportunity and regret it later. But in your case, it seems that this is due to building up your wall or fence which protects you and thus isolates you from your opportunities.
