Like Candles we Burn

Like candles we burn
So easy we melt
By fires that concern
The end of what's felt.
These flames set ablaze
Combust without doubt
No pity, no gaze
At those in its bout.
The wrath of their heat
Convenes to decay
Short breaths of a fate
You wish to delay.
Ashes they will leave
Of dreams and past deeds
Debris all conceived
Consumed by fire's greed.
