Anger and Pain

Anger and pain, they're the same. They're both a flame. One burns on high. One burns on low. One comes out fast. One comes out slow. They sting your heart. They fuel your fears. They damage the mind when no one hears. What they do through the years unfolds. Unfolds with words you can't erase. Unfolds with screams that contort the face. And the hole that's left in your heart can't be filled Except with LOVE that can't be stilled. By: Carole O'Terry Duet Copyright: 2006 "All Rights Reserved"
