The Everlasting Inferno

The sky, once shrouded with clouds

Stretching far across the sky

The thickness of them let in no light

Not a single ray of sunlight entered,

Only one light below was left

The floor was cold, and the world was grim

Color was gone and the final light was dim

By and by, it would’ve gone out

I know that now, without a doubt

As the light shone even less than before, 

It was as if something opened up, a door

Light finally broke through the dark thick clouds

Yet, this wasn’t the sun

It brought back the color and lit up the world

The dimming light formed into a tiny flame

This light evoked feelings the light has never felt before

It brought eternal sunshine, reassurance, and kindness

The flame never experienced these, as much, with anyone else

Not long after, this flame turned to an unstoppable inferno

What if felt for this light couldn’t be held back

Not even if some-days it felt some slack

One day, the light told the blaze what it longed for

Something that couldn’t simply be bought at a store

Someone on they want to adore

Not only did the inferno want this too

It’s the only thing it wanted to do

This action drove every single cloud away,

The feelings overwhelmed them to stay

The flame will always stay lit for the light

Even if it is to leave,

This inferno will stay burning forever
