Analysis of Lost flame



In the depths of night's despair,
A twisted face, a mask to wear.
Hiding pain and secrets untold,
A tale of darkness, yet to unfold.

Lost flame flickers, dim and weak,
Whispering secrets it cannot speak.
A love once pure, now stained with woe,
In the depths of darkness, it's forced to grow.

Through haunted halls and empty rooms,
Echoes of sorrow, like silent tombs.
A love that's twisted, a heart that's torn,
In the realm of shadows, it's forever worn.

But sometimes, a lost flame's fate is sealed,
In shadows it remains, forever concealed.
A love that withers, a soul consumed,
In a haunting embrace, forever entombed.
