Evergreen

End of summer melts to early fall and
Discord still lingers through it all
I'm just a kid so I don't know
Loves allowed to tapper from the soul

Given puzzle pieces that don't quite fit
With gaping holes and overlapping bits
Doesn't form a pretty picture anyways
No rolling fields more like a home ablaze

Still I long to see each ash as it floated away
Each misspoken word, each dwindling flame
Every trail of smoke embracing that day
Every burnt body, lives taken away

Is it possible to miss something you forget
Cause I can't remember the last time when
I slept in the same bed night after night
Felt this ache would end
Saw the last glimmer of daylight

And I fought through the thick of it, hoping it would die
Too bad this evergreen still grows in the dead of night
It's getting so hard to fight when there's no visible light

Eleven years in, am I missing something between words?
A lifetime with burns I don't remember getting
Guess they make me who I am
I guess I still hate them
