'inferno'

Overwhelming was her desire To be close to you She wanted to be close to your heart Like a spark she wanted to ignite The dying flames Of your torn heart She didn’t know that Those flames that lay dormant Would turn into an inferno That would scourge her When she wanted to walk away She had to search in between The ash for her peace of mind The inferno left her scarred However it could not break her spirit ©110720161444

I really like it, Wilma. Could it be for the Limerence contest? then again, you don't normally enter the contests, do you? but that one liner you wrote, sure looks like it belongs in the contest of S 1

Hey Andrea, I haven't entered any of the contests in years. Didn't know about the Limerence contest until you told me. Who knows maybe I will enter it. ;)
