Does the candle realize
The thread it holds within its heart
Will lead to its ruin?
The unassuming wick is
The light of its life but also
The cause of its demise.
If the candle does know,
Why does it let itself be consumed?
Is love always such a sacrifice?
Perhaps the candle is truly unaware.
And what a tragedy it is —
To stand oblivious to the traitor in your heart.
