Description         The candle is lit, and I let it burn.
            Its glow is warm so I revel in it.
               The wax is melting rapidly.
          I want to blow out the flame,
         But you stop me every time.
  I take the candle home and blow it out there.
          Yet when I see you again,
        You light it one more time, and I let it burn.
   revel in its warmth again, feeling shame for doing so.
        And it is getting harder
           To blow out the flame.
             A puddle of wax now…
               …it cannot survive…
             I must blow out the flame soon
        For, anyway, it will die in time.
  Once more I take it home and blow it out there.
         Once more feeling shame for doing so.
              Whence we meet again,
               You light it one more time, and I let it burn.
             I cannot revel in its warmth
          For I know, it soon will die,
     And I will blow it out one last time.
