Candle

A candle doesn’t need to be lit
In order to be a candle
A candle doesn’t need to be of its original appearance either
So long as it can still be lit
Melted down into trails of dripping wax
Solid now and preserving a state of what once was
Warm or cold and in any shape or form, I will light you if you allow me
For You, my dear, are my candle

this is a beautiful poem.
I love it. If I knew you were on a poetry kick I would have visited sooner!
