Do You Still Wonder

Do you still wonder,
late at night,
alone, all in your cold bed?

Do you still wonder,
when tears threaten,
alone, all in your dreams?

Do you still wonder,
looking to the future,
alone, all now as then?

When the promises of spring are
scorched brown and dying
in summer's drought,
when the promises of your life are
burned to ashes scattered
by the lies you spoke...

Do you still wonder,
late at night,
when tears threaten,
alone, all in your cold bed,
alone, all in your dreams?
