Do You Ever Wonder Why

Do You Ever Wonder Why

Do you ever wonder why
    your dreams don't turn out to be what you see
A star lit sky
    instead of the void beneath your feet,
Do you ever wonder why
    you do the things you know are wrong
Walking in a minefield
    despite the well-read signs along your route,
Do you ever wonder why
    your afraid of the things that can't hurt you
A decorated general
    facing a mach battle of such grandiose,
Do you ever wonder why
    you ruin the chances with no down side
A final shot
    at an opportunity that comes but once,
Do you ever wonder why
    you can't change some things no matter how hard you try
Swimming upstream
    when it's easier to walk beside,
Do you ever wonder why
    you see someone over and over in your mind
A video clip
    in still frame stuck in a loop,
Do you ever wonder why
    your feelings are never what you want them to be
A frog disguised prince
    that a woman's kiss will never be enough,
Do you ever wonder why
    you have to love as well as be loved
A forbidden spice
    that Darwin's body cannot live without,
Do you ever wonder why
    your heart can break so easily
A slave labourer
    that's been broken with no will left to fight,
Do you ever wonder why
    you feel fear in your stomach when someone won't leave
A welcome visitor
    whose presence tears at the fabric of time,
Do you ever wonder why
    your thoughts cannot be expressed
A life preserver
    thrown to a drowning soul but out of reach,
Do you ever wonder why
    we've never met
If you don't
    I always do.
