Death2
A fulgurating candle burnt so low, the last breath of the flickering light
The light that so perfectly consumed this world, the one that illuminated the night
The candle that has been dropped so many times, the one that seemed eternal
So inhumane and ruthless, the gust of wind that infringed upon your elation
So altruistic and keen, the one who became my miraculous salvation
The aroma fills the air and lives on long after the death of its source
Your optimism and benevolence prevail, forever lingering on in my heart as an eternal force
You were charming and cordial, the faint light during a blood-curdling storm
So gentle and gracious until the end, helping those around you, so considerate and warm
A part of you remains intact, it can never be taken away, for it lies in my heart
The gift you gave the world is forever here and cannot be torn apart
An extraordinary candle that finally blew out
