Hey, this poem is describing a character in the book, The Outsiders.

Dally
Illegal, tuff, cold, and sneaky
Dally
Protected by his internal hardness
Dally
His record, nowhere near clean
Has been drunk, stole, and arrested
He was wanted at age ten
Dally
His love was hidden
Hidden within the walls of life
His one true love,
Johnny
A relationship like no other
Love was not shown till...
It happened
Burning flames, and excruciating heat
Johnny is trapped
He goes in
Before you know it they are in the hospital
Johnny is dying
Dying a slow death
When Johnny dies, Dally does too
His soul died then his body
And that is hidden love
