A Hot Cup of Boiling Water

My anger is a hot cup of boiling water 

Tamed in ceramic, stinging my hands

You won't let me set it down 

And I am too kind to drop it

So I burn

Your brief words metaphorically puts hurt to shame.. this is raw emotion with a twist: you thinking of the other.

Thank you :)

A wonderful metaphor carried out throughout this poem. Very nicely done.
