One last candle in the night Burning with all its might

A small ward against the blackness Quietly she ate the raw cactus

Nearly starving,fingers pricked Sadly thinking of how she had been tricked.

A single candle A little flame The last thing to know her name

The girl in the night Raven black hair,that shined so bright. Today would be her final night

Blood seeping from her dress She made a small little nest

Cozy and warm she laid down to die Watching the candle,she never cried

As the wax slowly melted,into her hair She didn't even scare.

As her dress caught fire She didn't even scream For the candle was melted Into a waxy sheen

The girl was dead Long before But along with her The candle was no more
