A dim candle. 

A candle that slowly dies down 

A candle that cannot be lit again 

You try to keep trying to keep the candle from turning to ash 

You can try to keep the candle lit

But you will slowly realize that you cannot keep the candle lit forever 

You try and try and try but your realization turns into sorrow

A candle will eventually melt and melt and dim down but it will eventually die down. And turn into nothing but ash and smoke. 

You try to keep the candle lit and you say “but I love this candle. It’s my favorite candle. I can’t let it go….” 

You can’t let it go but you know you have to in order to heal

In order to feel again. 

The candle will forever be ash and smoke blowing into the wind. 

And then into the trash it goes. 

It’s isn’t about a candle. 

A dim candle.
