Will this candle flicker and die?

There's a candle,

and it sits right behind my rib-cage.

There are days I wish it'd die.

Life would be so much easier

without it flickering in there

but all the beer I purchase

it doesn't suffocate the flame.

all the pills

all the late nights

all the loose woman

they do very little.

At times I envy the man who knows little of himself

who knows nothing of his ambition

nothing of what he truly desires.

His candled set out long ago

when he got over the thought of being an astronaut

and so it never burns his chest.

Perhaps some day

this candle's flame length will grow

grow so large it burns this house of spirits to the ground

and it will be all that is left

Perhaps some day

it will just flicker and die

and on that day

I should hope I do to.

I have flet that way at times myself, I think you should dig deeper into this thought..
