Fire

this fire won't start, the match is a dud
you've dragged everything i am through the mud
now my fingers are shaking, too weak
i close my eyes, too scared to peek
what i need now is a little friction
but all i have before me is this suspicion
there's no light here, no spark
no ignition, i'm left in the dark
even if i wanted to, it's over, i can't do this
there will be no fire, no warmth, only something for me to miss.
