Still Burning
Salt water.
She tastes her tears.
He hears her cries,
but he's still burning.
Say a prayer
Say a prayer every night.
But he's still burning.
He's hooked, never quitting.
Tried a time or two
but failed himself each time.
Her cries echo in the
devastation left behind.
Sundays prayers ignored by god.
When cures don't cure
we still burn.
We're still burning now.
