A Candle's light
Burns tall and bright.
Brightening a room
With a warm glow.
A feeling of home
That cannot be compared.
More comfort than I'll ever know
Trapped in this box.

Shadows looming
Grand and dull.
Tendons scurry across the floor
Reaching and grabbing.
Extinguish the flame
The only comfort.

Dark encased me
Never embraces me.
