Ours to Light up, Ours to Burn


She is the hot-headed matchstick

And I the rough red side
Of a matchbox.
Forever we tease each other 
About how with the 
Littlest effort a flame
We could make.
But content with this knowledge,
We sit as friends side by side
Laughing
And Jeering at the world
For it is ours to light up
And ours to burn.
