Candle

the flame burns

soaring high

the fire is hot

flaring out

the candle is tall

standing up

but the fire melts it away

wax drips down the sides

it weakens and is destroyed

what was once perfectly shaped

melted a hole in the center

the core of its life

and the walls weaken

they burn bright

yet never cave in
