Midnight Sunset 🧡

Burn Out ⚠️

~

A candle without wax.
A simmering flame that
slowly shrinks, but exists still

battling with all its tiny might

to stay alight against a
sinister wind. I sit
here in a cautious glow,
and desperately wish
to regain my reserves
to burn brightly again.

But somewhere in that dark
room, others do the same.
A thin film clears away.
From a collective flame,
hope rises and remains.
