CANDLE ON A NIGHTSTAND

A candle on a nightstand,
Its flames flickering red and bright
Pushing away the terrors of the dark,
Fighting against the winds of the night.

A candle on a nightstand,
Slowly it dips, dripping away,
Diminishing every minute
Till the terrors have their way.

A candle on a nightstand
Has made its final stand.
Not everything has an happy ending,
This is how the candle ends.
