Seconds

Not understanding the human mind I am led to believe that emotions are free and rampant, producing extremes in actions and thought...


SECONDS

In seconds, love turns to hate
In seconds, hate becomes chaos
Spreading to confusion, destroying your fate
Life then becomes an utter loss.

Until you mend what you have lost,
Accepting the Lord and paying the cost
Building your heart to a stronger state
In seconds, love can overtake hate.
