Your anger is flaming
Too hot to touch
With searing passion
You burn with a terrible fury
Your whole body alight with it
Coursing through throbbing veins
Cold flames so dark and painful
Filled with an unstoppable fire

But then there is a river of sadness
And tears begin to fall
A pouring of a breaking dam
Torrenting down frozen cheeks
Leaving icy tracks of steal
Engulfing you in a wave of emotion
Like acid rain that corrodes your strength
And drowns you under the crushing weight of water
