500 miles away

i remember a crossroad
500 miles ago,
the roads split three,
each seducing me,

i saw the one,
I desperately want
yet the wind blew strong
and I was swept away

I stepped onto a path
a detour so unexpected
it led me to the borders
of far away from destiny

even now, im not half way there
how long more before I reach?
but I MUST keep walking
or it'll mean death here.

I've come this far,
I WILL NOT change course!
or I'll spend all eternity
regretting I lived this life.

its another 500 miles away.
