The Last Candle

36 8 10
                                    

When the last candle is blown
I'll not perish. I'll stay awake,
searching for the light that has
once guided me through the dark.

That was all I had to spare
when others slyly turned their backs
assuming that I am alright
that I didn't need anyone's help.

It threw light in everything
I came across; things that I never knew
but existed in the depths of darkness
that is chilling to mention.

I was always alone
and now even lonely.
With my candle burnt out
the cold makes me numb,
because my candle of hope is now gone.
