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
