I am the candle

 

I am the candle burning bright

And as my wax melts
Slowly dripping
Out onto the floor  

My flame grows brighter
And as every second passes
I’m growing smaller
And smaller

Small

But I still burn bright
I am but a candle
Burning into the night!

My flame will hurt you
But I give you warmth  

I am the candle of life
I am born!
Born from a flame
I’m alive burning!

I will eventually burn out
Smaller and smaller I become
As my wax descends out
Onto the floor

My flame grows smaller
Tears of wax falling

And as my light flickers
And ebbs away
Slowly an surely
The light fades
My last breath
Extinguished
Out!
