The Candle
Burning light of a candle
....................Small flame in the distance
Beckoning forward lost souls
....................Offering a new life
But the candle is naught but a lie
....................A mirage in the night
For this forsaken candle
....................Lies in the hands of death
Those who are drawn to the flickering light
....................Are never again to be seen
Whisked away are they
....................To the land of the dead
Where they dance around the flames
....................That burned their lives away
