Questions (Cinquain Butterfly)

Regrets,
what ifs borne of,
if things were different,
then where would my life be today?
Dismay.
Would changing events of the past,
alter the course taken
to reach this place,
I ask?

**********************************************
Cinquain butterflies (a merged mirror cinquain) where the two stanzas of a mirror cinquain are merged together, one of the middle 2 syllable lines is dropped, resulting in one nine line stanza of the form 2-4-6-8-2-8-6-4-2). Please note that a cinquain butterfly is not a cinquain because it doesn't have five lines, but it is a butterfly made up of two cinquains that were merged together into one poem.
