Flickering fluttering lives the candle, till its mind's content and brings heart's demise, it flickers and flutters in the night. All alone, in the night.

Left by heat, left by wind, left by friends and left by fiend. No hope, no end in sight, no pause of relief, except for when it dies. And still the wax burns, and the flame flickers bright, 'till the end comes nigh, as a horrible surprise.

It knows it's without purpose, that no one's sharing the light, but it can't stop burning, it's how it's alive!

All alone, in the night. Abandoned without a fight.

Suffering and dying, it's how it's alive. For other people's sake, but there's no one in sight.

What slight, the flame would know, for its nature to have the might, to carry on in the night.

All alone in the night.


All alone.
In the dark, lonely night.
Some are forced to carry on even when their soul's purpose is unwelcome and unnecessary.
