Set Fire to the Rain (glosa versa)

Set Fire to the Rain

Cabeza:
But I set fire to the rain,
watched it pour as I touched your face.
Well it burned as I cried
cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name!
- Chorus, "Set Fire to the Rain," by Adele (2012)

Stifling myself was no easy task;
you said that's not what you ask,
yet while living behind this mask
I watched you drink from anger's cask.
Pressed in your silk and lace
your love drowned me in pain
I tiptoed through your torturous race
yet had to maintain a resolute pace
saw your unsweet love still wane
but I set fire to the rain.

You said your love would never fade
For me all sacrifices made
that's a debt I've never paid
still at my door it's laid.
You rolled your eyes and sighed
No remorse, even a trace
just gamesmanship true and tried
real concern has simply died
that tear is false you have no case
watched it pour as I touched your face.

Here we stayed as in the past
and though I stood aghast
you found me firm and fast
spite love that did not last.
Thunder peeled your name
lightning bolts I defied
even so the storm came
soaked my screams just the same
St Elmo's fire is a deathly ride
well it burned as I cried.

Now you have a separate fate
and may soon find another mate
but you are one I'll never hate
find it's just a love too late.
Seek your shelter from the rain
you've cast me out, made me lame
held me up as one insane
it's no victory to be so vain
my thunderbolt is not to blame
cause I heard it screaming out your name,
your name.

The gloss explains, interprets or expands on the cabeza. Lines six and nine of each stanza must rhyme with the borrowed tenth line. The poet decides line length, meter and other rhymes.
