As the candle dies

Have you ever watched a candle as it slowly burns down and dies?

Its really a sad scene... I was observing the candle on my table as the flame grew smaller and smaller and changing its color into different hues as it shrank.
That single candle was the only source of light for my room.
Some sad thoughts came into my mind as the flame grew smaller and the darkness grew darker...
Slowly, the candle burned to the ground and the color changed to bright orange...
The only source of its energy was the tiny wand of thread and the melted wax around it.
A small breeze could have put it out.
As the flame got smaller, it seemed to rise above the wax as i could see its reflection in the liquid wax...
And soon the flame was so weak that even the reflection couldn't be seen anymore.
And then after a few more seconds, it flickered and died... leaving the room in complete darkness.

Let us keep a minute of silence for this candle *sob sob*
