I am a spark of light,
That warms the soul,
Removes the cold,
From the night, I am bright...
Call me fire.

I am a drop.
A chilling cool, a misty due,
From the clouds I pop,
And never stop...
Call me rain.

I am a ray of red.
But colors fade,
like dim lit shades,
That knows that red is dead,
A glow of blue lies in its bed.
Call me fire.

I am a bay of pain.
Waters rush, from dawn 'till dusk,
Who is to blame?
Don't know my name?
Call me rain.

I am fear.
I burn like piercing eyes, and rise,
To where,
I catch a glimpse of every tear...
Call me fire.

Call me rain, call me fire.
Just a bitter taste of desire.
Consumed but what I wish was love,
Watching from above,
As I become nothing...
