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.

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.
