She lit a candle and it wouldn’t catch
Wick drowned in wax
From over use
Flame gasping for oxygen
She lit a candle and it wouldn’t catch
Faint blue bulb barely hanging on
She walked away
Letting the wick burn on its own
She lit other candles
The room filled with rose or other scents
She checked on her first candle
The flame
While not strong
Was still hanging there
Burning through the wax
To reach the core
Central fuel
That keeps her burning
