Candlestick, My Dear Candlestick

Candlestick, My Dear Candlestick
by the traveler

Candlestick, my dear Candlestick,
keep the cold darkness far from me
stay right here, closer, by my side
light from you flicker tenderly

Passing the days become so weak
Giving yourself consumes your life
Hang on there, my dear Candlestick
Dripping away to give us light.

Candlestick, breathing, struggles on
keeping the perfect glow, your burn
You have become too short to be.
Goes to the point of no return

Candlestick? Why, dear Candlestick?
Why did you leave us without you?
Sorry that we depend too much.
Gone now, if only we had knew.
