I'm sorry (Hush, Hush)

Fiery candle, why do you flicker so?  
Quivering naked in the moonlight  
Leaking wax tear drops that harden on your skin  
To stay there as a reminder,
of the torture I put you through  
I'm sorry, but I need the warmth  
That your death can give me  

Please forgive me little candle,
I know you're perturbed  
By the slowly forced suicide
I am making you endure  
I only do it to see how it feels for them  
Killing softly, silently (hush, hush)  
It's such a beautiful way to die  
With the lively orange dulling
out to a wisp of smoke  
Dancing up till dispersing
into the stillness  

Maybe I'll save you, maybe I wont  
The daisy petals argue about your life  
As the trivial thing it is to them  
I am dizzy with power, tilting
my blazing crown to cover my eyes  
So I won't have to see you  
Withering away at my command  
You don't wail for mercy, braver than I  
Yet foolish with fear induced misery  

I take pity on you, blowing out the bright  
It is as if you were never there  
You merely fade away into the black  
Jealousy sets me alight
