Unknown moments:
Thoughts of what could have been
A different path
Choices are a funny thing
Hard to take back
You’re left alone, wondering
What another life could have been
Unknown memories:
If you had stayed, or walked away
Would you be who you are today?
Left with a memory
Of you, as someone else
could it have been more
If you listened to yourself?
Voices that warned you
But, your heart never had a chance
Broken and used up
standing dismayed, with empty hands
Unknown moments:
Would it be any better - than now, whatever this is?
No one really wants to know
The memories can play tricks
on what your mind recalls
Was it even real or a fantasy of a dream,
that never really happened before

I feel this too. Sometimes I go down that road of what could have been, but I have to stop myself. We can't change the past, unfortunately. Beautiful words, thanks for sharing.
I felt that so hard. It's difficult to go down the road of what-ifs. Hugs to you :) Beautiful and raw, nicely said.
