Well...think about when you use your fingers to blow out a candle.
Isn't that a bit suggestive of wiping out a flame? Also water gives the same effect.
I'm not quite sure what you are trying to rhyme. I'll check back to see if you give a more in depth idea. ; )
(Or if someone else was less dense than myself.)
Edit: "snuffed out", just above my answer, is pretty good!

You can say "snuffed out like a flame"

flames might be snuffed or blown out. but it is your poem and as long as it carries the image you desire it is right. That is called poetic license, which even covers misspellings.
