I try to save them
but I only make it worse
drowning in the oil
that was meant to be a cure
I see them
disemboweled
and I can't help but feel
the smallest of lives
and you think I'm a fool
but I'm painfully aware
maybe my tears mean nothing
but to me
they mean the world
I wouldn't dare
to spare them on something that didn't matter
I wouldn't share them
with someone that didn't matter to me
