Self Destruct



You cant get involved
with someones self destruction
saving and changing
is up to one

the one who holds
carries the pain
the one who holds
self blame.

you can talk and say
state.many claims
only the one
can change
these negative things

with many
much words
with fights
ambition
schemes
big plans
only the one has correction

Self destruction is a choice
Even a way of life
Maybe survival
through challenges
strife

So again and again
we
they
even our loves
will choose self destruction
to come to that end

You can only hope
a notion
change of emotion
will come
to your love
And reap much
from devotion
