The Candle

On a cold and dark night A lonely candle shining bright Dispelling the darkness around her with light Hoping someone just might Talk to her and ask her how she feels To help reveal the sorrow that she conceals The sadness of having no one around The feeling that happiness can never be found Wishing that she had just one friend One with whom she can spend time and relax Before the flame melts up all her wax But alas, no one was there to be found And a strong wind toppled her to the ground Breaking her to pieces and ridding her of her light And there she lay lifeless on the cold dark night
