Evergreens

Alexa Melo

Compositor: Alexa Melo

I saw a rushing stream
Lush and tall with evergreens
But the mirage dispersed
And with asking eyes again there you were

So when did your pain become your lover?
Your deity? Your mother?
When did your pain become you?

You lost my sympathy
If trauma became your excuse
An extension of your identity

So when did your pain become your lover?
Your deity? Your mother?
When did you pain become you?

The strength of your pain was stronger than my will to stay
So when did your pain bеcome you?

I fit like a puzzle piеce
Snug within your wound
For you to heal I had to leave
