The Life of a Candle

I'll just burn for you silently,
a single candle in the wind,
longing to be joined by another,
waiting for this loneliness to end,

but as time passes,
my life grows short,
a flicker,
signalling the arrival of Charon to port,

I'll continue to reach for the heavens,
as I come closer to my grave,
drowning in my tears of wax,
remembering the warmth I once gave.
