How bad can 6 letters affect your world

Put a halt on your life and for what 

To have such a flammable heart

You go and fall in love with a spitfire boy

Who watches as you go up in flames

 

You loved him but he failed you

And from there you failed yourself

Self love no longer mattered 

When all that mattered to you 

Was his word of approval 

 

Left behind in ashes 

You’re soul stashes what’s still left

It backfired as you have to be the one 

To catch yourself when you fall

Can I make it?

 

Question yourself and never stop 

Heavy heart and spinning mind

Loving the scars that are left behind

1 second can change a life time 

But

2 seconds 

Has the ability to change the world
