And Then There Were None

The roads that life showed opened all around

And she found her desires spreading everywhere unabound

A different aura of hers stood at trimph at every end

But all the roads had their hurdles and bends

She kept to herself and was tempted to choose

But could make no sense of her mind's hues

What it truly wanted and intended to desire

Would all burn solemnly in a strange fire

The people told her to make up her mind

And walk before she had nothing to find

So she treaded on the one her heart seemed content

And some satisfaction to her mind, she lent

On the way she found those who moved no more

Having become accustomed to the path's chores

And pondered within about how the end looked

Was it all she wanted or would it be crooked

Her health fell to circumstance's clutch and waned

For more sorrows and regret were to be gained

Her reflections sat at the end where all roads intertwined

Who were all jestful and happy in a bind

And now she recites the remorse of her journey

Where you lose a lot for a large fee

Walking a road others chose seemed now wrong

Otherwise her list of regrets wouldn't be so long

She saw the different lives that vanished by

She couldn't close her eyes
