O! the lives I've wasted
The lives I could have led
If different paths I'd taken
And different people I'd met.
O! what friends were lost
When just around the corner they lay
Their voices heard but their faces
hidden
O! why had Destiny to steer me this
way.
II
With my life here in my hands
My impulsive moves and slow
meanderings
My efforts regulated by my will to
abstain
In gaining my present position
What have I lost elsewhere
And what have others lost
Because of my absence there.

No, I haven't killed anyone, this is about regrets and what ifs, a bit of existential angst
