I am a burning candle. Looking bright and cheery but really, i'm melting.



Beautifully burning.
Understanding the truth as I constantly shrink.
Ready and steady, hoping for no wind.
Nodding my flame as to pretend i'm okay.
Illuminating a dark world...but it won't last forever.
Nurture, I do, wishing there could be more.
Golden sprarkles of mine try hopelessly to light your way.

Can you see it? Can you see me fading?
As I grasp for oxygen.
No, you can't see. I am still lit, not gone yet.
Delighted you seem, though my brightness is not true.
Lies, that's the brightness, lies.
Everthings over, my flame breaths its last breath....Darkness.
