The Candle

The Candle

The candle burns,
bright and beautiful,
lighting up the night,
for others…

But, it burns,
shedding silent tears,
of anguish,
of angst…

It burns,
shedding forlorn tears,
of anger and anxiety,
even love…

One brilliant flicker,
the last drop falls,
and it drowns, then,
in its own tears…
