Its been by my side,
always there on my side,
when i needed it most.
But who can i blame but myself
if I strike a match I know
is not going to light
I strike many times along the side
only to bruise
and tear parts of it away
Making the match box lose its ability to light
even with a good match stick
cause it takes both to light a fire.
Next time you strike again and again
and try to light a spark
with someone
Make sure its not a damp match stick
‘cause it will only bruise more
the more you try to create that spark
Maybe its time to discard this damp stick
and try creating that fire
with a new one.
