Her life touched so many
between the lines
words convey pain and sorrow.
Happiness seemed to be hers,
until the day came
candle melted too fast
light was extinguished early…

Beautiful take on the prompt. It's very saddening and I can relate to this. Watching someone fade away and become lost is very painful. Thanks for entering
