Cold flame

Personification of a candle

COLD FLAME

Surrounded by emptiness and silence,

I bring you light when you are in darkness.

Afraid what lies in pitch black room?

I erase your fears.

You carry me along,

I help you seek out things.

You use me and forget,

While I burn for you.

I am no great soul,

I am a candle who lives for you.

My flame keeps me warm,

Because I am surrounded by cold people like you. 

I burn to brighten your day,

I am so selfless.

You blow me when someone else brightens your life,

My flame quivers,

And then I feel cold

I am still ready to burn for you again,

Because I am remembered as the one who lights the darkness.

This could very well be about a person being selfless too, (not that I really believe in truly selfless people existing ;P) but the idea in itself is nice to think of.
On the other hand, I think some people really bring light in our lives...
Nicely penned, Najam (:
