Candles

We burned like candles primely lit

Our lamps of youth so strong and bright

Twin beacons born to radiate

In flares of stardust candlelight

We flashed like molten lava cooled

Our wicks snuffed out in smokey plumes

Twin lanterns once so promising

On candlesticks that ran on fumes

We melted down to mounds of wax

Our pillars soon dropped out of sight

Twin flashes fluxing aimlessly

In flames of fallen Fahrenheit
