The Candle and the Flame

Come and sing with me
The Candle said to the Flame
Even if I want, I can't
And no, I am playing no game

Why so, the Candle wanted to know
You can sing if you want to
This life is not that simple
There are issues, and you need to know

There is no such rule
All you need is a will and desire
All your wishes will come true
It's your life, don't live like a fool

The Flame looked at the Candle
She stepped out 
Not just sang, she also danced
But then a wind grew, they could not handle

The Candle led her gently on
But the winds of misunderstanding grew
Such was their suffering
Slowly the Flame was almost gone

The winds of misunderstanding blew so fast
Still without fear, they both sang and danced
Even the moonlight seemed to fade
Such was the light, the last light of the inseparable 

But then the wind suddenly killed the Flame
The Candle stood in the dark
Such was their misery
They had just themselves to blame.
