on 'Twas awkward, but it fitted me by Emily Dickinson, on January 22My interpretation is quite literal. I think this poem is about a heart. It's like a machine which is loyal and performs its job until you die. A poetic way to describe our relationship with our own hearts.

Question?
I am just confused by your comment. You said you like the freedom of the poem and how it has no uniform structure. However in the end you call it a wonderful villanelle.
A villanelle is one of the most strict forms of poetry not only is there structure but it is complex. The way that this poem was put together may make it seem free but that is why it is so great because it is such a strict form yet flows perfectly. By thinking there is no structure you lose much of the art of the poem.
FYI: A villanelle is nineteen lines long, consisting of five tercets and one concluding quatrain. Not to mention its rhyme scheme. -

Not necessarily regret...
Nowhere in the poem does he express regret. That is something that some people read into it. It is a possibility. He looks back with a sigh and knows that decision has made all the difference, but was it for better or worse... That's for the reader to decide, it is rather ambiguous. -

Why God?
When someone personifies an object it doesn't have to be a comparison to a specific person or being. It is more to add emotion and maybe symbolism. In this case he is explaining that the road that wanted wear was simply the one less traveled.
