Oil Still Burns

(Written by Emma)

Your remarks are snide

Coming out like the tide

Dripping off your lip

To the oceans it'll slip

But you see I'm a flame

I'll always flicker the same

Your words don't go far

All they do its sizzle and charr

And now you'll probably think

That ashes only sink

Once met with waters urn

But oh you've forgotten to see

That oil still will burn

Even at sea
