Toxic
Pain is only one emotion
Or a series of emotions
Pain can contain love
Even hate
But pain itself
Doesn’t hurt
It’s the other emotions
That once mixed with pain
Create the agony, and sorrow
Emotions alone
Have no power
But once ignited with others
The flames spread
Love contains no feeling
But when you combine
Love with heart ache
Will create a fire
Large enough
To burn down
A forest
Fear, by itself
Is empty
But after it mingles with
Past experiences
It creates anxiousness
So remember that
When emotions are mixed
The result is toxic
