You are food for me,

When your days are through,

Put me in water,

And I get food for you,

Cut me in half,

And one becomes two

worms

Makes sense, but care to explain lines 3 and 4?

1-2, dead = 'worm food'

3-4, fishing bait

5-6, some worms do that

Worms don't do that. Sometimes, rarely, the head half might survive for a few minutes if there is enough of the body left. But often times, the head half doesn't survive and the tail half never survives.

seed

You are food for me,

When your days are through, when you die, your body decomposes and becomes food for the trees

Put me in water,

And I get food for you, if you put a seed in water, it will grow into a tree and give you food

Cut me in half,

And one becomes two if you cut a seed in half, it will split into two

Must be an old wives tale then.

An earthworm.

Yes I was intending worms, I have always been under the impression that when you cut a worm in half it stays alive and continue to live as two creatures... maybe I should have done some research.
