Urwen has just left Hobbiton.
Well, as it happens, I already had a riddle prepared. This one is likewise based on a song, with few alterations


It's the choices that I made
And the paths I didn't take
That led to this fate
I should've let them close the gate

All the things that I've done
And the ones that I helped break
All the wrongs I've done
My fate is cold and bleak

Every obstacle on the road
Every branching path
Means a choice I wish I didn't make
I wish I chose a different path to take

It was so hard to see ahead
Though behind it all, my path was clear
If I'd only known that then
But there is no start again

I cannot erase the stains
On the life I have lead
They tried to warn me
But I didn't heed their warnings
For I was too blind to see

All the things I can't forget
All the harm that I've done
When I failed to be a friend
When I broke but did not mend

Could I learn the lesson there
Could I do more than just regret
I should have known who was right
I should've listened
