Friends can be as fragile as a bubble, Sharp as a pin, Or as hurtful as the needle that pierces my skin Trying to sew back the delicate petals of a flower.
They can be as dumb as a rock Or used as a coin Or a melted block of ice That fire tried to join.
A match that strikes the box To turn some wood into ash, Squeeze you like a sponge Try to erase all our past.
Chip you like it's golf Or smack you with a racket in our short game of tennis, Pelt you with a snowball, pretend you won't feel it happen Didn't think your building blocks were stagnant.
Mark you with a pencil Scribble it out with pen, Rip the leaf that's floating Shed a teardrop at the end.
