Lacrimae Rerum

A matchstick made out of a bark To catch a flame and burn Creating fire caused by sparks And burn all things with no return. A water that washes away stain But is left rather impure Water that comes from rain Makes things obscure A vulnerably fragile heart Played with scissors and sticks Broken into several parts Wound in every piece you pick
