if?

have you ever wondered,

if there was an alternate universe?
with an alternate you?

they are

the person you would be, if...
you had chosen them.
chosen there.
chosen how.
chosen why.

a person, who diverged, in that forked road

that opposite direction

with the foreign violet moss,
the shadowy fields of grain.
the sanguine canopy overhead.

you might be happier.
with that dull shine in your eye, a twinkle.
that void in your life, filling to the brim.
those gloomy times, not even thought of.

on the other hand, everything could've been worse.
you could be miserable, staring at the outside world
filled with regrets and frustrations
tears constantly at the threshold of your glance.

and you would wonder...
oh, you would wonder.

what would my world be like
 if i had taken the other road?
