Dying Candle (Free verse) by cheese.doodles The flameâs death
Is violent
It claws frantically
At cold, smothering space
As the wax,
Its life-blood,
Is stolen
Away into the greedy air
That is
Suddenly
Dark.
Up the ladder:
Troubled Mind
Down the ladder:
On the Space of Indifference

A good metaphor for something, but what? I can think of several twists. As it stands, you only describe the dying candle.

Maybe that's all it is?
Wax isn't stolen by the air it is fed upon by the flame.
