sitting among the multitude
up here in the solitude
now there is no gratitude
I speculate and contemplate
on choices I hesitate
now I often designate
if one would go back in time
was there a choice left behind
something I could see but blind
was there a love that was forbidden
or a deed better left hidden
a different life that was worth living
in this life I traversed the maze
a hidden path covered in haze
on greener pasture I could now graze
with nothing but time to lament
when I lost this main event
for my mind now to torment
on this ledge I do acknowledge
if I had gone to college
I could have gained new knowledge
with only one choice left to make
one more tiny step to take
for this end I can not fake
I rolled the dice and I lost
now I have to pay the cost
let my grave cover with frost
nothing left now it's all done
it's been real it's been fun
now my last trip has begun
